A Passage to India
A travel to India, event though for a little holiday, left surely many marks... and a strong one, regarding music, has been the purchasing of an exceptional sitar!
It owes 7 melodic strings and 13 resonance ones, an open and powerful timbre, is entirely built in mahogany wood, comes from Varanasi (Benares), and has been built by on of the most Uttar Pradesh sitar instructor and liuthier, Vijay Shakti.
Vijay has visited Europe, too, in particular for the shooting of a movie called "The Untouchables", in which he was part of the cast, as a musician. He usually performs all over India, his family makes sitars since four generations, and his instruments are praised by well-renowned musicians like Ravi Shankar.
This incredible instrument will probably be played during SaltyBros' gigs.
