New Buckingham Super Krishna™ Grade AA Sitar


 

The legendary Indian god, Krishna, was able to captivate mortals when he drew upon his aspects of music and beauty. This is why we have chosen to name this beautiful instrument after him. The New Buckingham Super Krishna™ sitar is an excellent grade instrument, beautiful in sound and looks.
The back of the bottom tumba is a solid mass of hand carving extending from the bottom of the neck through the six leaves on the gourd itself. Previously this was only featured on sitars in the $900+ range. Decoration, finish, and hand detailing, all combine to make the New Buckingham Super Krishna an excellent instrument for players who demand fine tone, playing 'feel', harmonic responsiveness and the confidence that only fine instruments bring.
And, like all Buckingham instruments, the New Buckingham Super Krishna is carefully inspected upon arrival, it is then hand tweaked to make sure it is in top playing condition. No-one else does this. It is needed with all imported Indian instruments.

Features:

  • First class instrument specially made to our specifications and pre-inspected in India by skilled musicians.
  • Full, intricate, hand carving of the bottom tumba from the neck block thru the petals. There is no "ring and petals" with this design.
  • Great sound projection, fine tone, and harmonic production
  • Meticulous hand finishing and decoration
  • Full size sitar: 47" to 48" long x 13" to 14" wide x 11" to 12" deep (size does vary in hand made instruments)
  • Larger bottom tumba (sounding gourd) for more volume, tone, and responsiveness
  • Highly elaborate, hand-carved, detailing at the fingerboard and throughout the rest of the instrument
  • Double tumbas
  • 20 strings
  • 20 nickel-silver fully-moveable frets
  • Four string tuning adjustors
