Experience authentic classical sound with the JAS Vilayat Khan Style Professional Sitar, crafted for advanced players, performers, and serious students of Hindustani music.
Designed in the renowned Vilayat Khan (Gayaki) style, this sitar focuses on vocal-like expression, making it ideal for intricate melodies and expressive playing. It features 6 main strings and 12 sympathetic (Tarab) strings, delivering a deep, rich, and resonant tone suitable for concerts and recordings.
The instrument is fitted with premium ebony (hard black wood) bridges for both main and sympathetic strings, ensuring superior tonal clarity, sustain, and precision.
