Surbahar, sometimes known as bass sitar, is closely related to the sitar , but it has a lower tone. Depending on the instrument's size, it is usually pitched two to five whole steps below the standard sitar, but Indian classical music having no concept of absolute pitch, this may vary. The instrument can emit frequencies lower than 20 Hz.

New Buckingham S
"Kahn" model sitar
|
Kahn in Black |
An affordable, student
sitar offered in two colors.
|
Kahn in Natural |
 |
The Kahn, from
a supplier with over 50 years of sitar building history, has the
flexibility to be strung in a number of formats. It is
delivered strung in the 6-string style; with 4 main, 2 chikari and
12 sympathetic strings. While most double toomba sitars are strung
in the 7-string style and single toomba sitars in the 6-string
style, you can change the style of your sitar by re-stringing it
with the appropriate number and gage of strings. Single toomba
sitars, which have fewer inlays and fewer carvings, offer an
elegant alternative to the double toomba sitars. Without the small
neck resonator these sitars are less expensive and top heavy as
compared to the traditional double toomba sitar.
The Kahn is 48-49 inches in length. Includes extra string set,
mizrabs, information and tuning guide, and nylon case.
