Sri Mangla's apprentice... This workshop has only two people working there - Sri Mangla himself and his apprentice.
This is the way all the older better sitars were made, with the master directly and deeply participating in the making of the instruments at every stage.
This is no longer the way many old bigger companies work as the original genius passed away some time ago. Consequently older instruments, made by the founder, are much sought after as only they have the real magic of the original maker in them.
Sadly, there are now many older "Name" makers like this where people buy new instruments for the old famous name only to find the name is all they have really purchased, nothing more.
