Whether you want to adapt it for classical ragas or light contemporary pieces, the strings and tuning pegs are designed to offer flexibility and precision. This makes it an ideal choice for artists who explore different genres of Indian music instruments.

Q4. Does the sitar come with any accessories?

These additions make it convenient for musicians to start playing right away. The bag also provides basic protection for the sitar during travel, practice sessions, or performances, preserving the look and sound of this ancient Indian musical instrument.

Your Sursargam Sitar from Harishyam Arts is a finely crafted instrument made with precision and passion. To ensure it retains its beautiful tone and longevity, regular care and proper maintenance are essential.

Storage:Always store your sitar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Excessive humidity can warp the wood and affect the tuning pegs, while direct heat may cause cracks or fading. Using a padded or hard case helps protect the instrument from dust, temperature changes, and accidental impacts.

Handling: Handle the sitar gently and avoid putting pressure on the neck or bridge area. Always lift it with both hands, supporting the gourd and neck simultaneously. After each session, gently wipe the instrument with a soft, dry cloth to remove sweat and dust, especially around the strings and tuning pegs.
String Care: The strings are the heart of the sitar’s sound. Over time, they may accumulate oil, dust, or rust. Clean them periodically with a soft cloth. It is advisable to replace strings that appear dull, corroded, or lose their tonal clarity. Keep a spare set of strings handy for quick replacements.
Tuning and Pegs: Tuning pegs should move smoothly but stay firm. If a peg slips or becomes too tight, apply a small amount of chalk or peg compound to improve grip and ease of movement. Avoid forcing the pegs, as this may damage the wood or the headstock.
Seasonal Checks: Due to natural wood expansion and contraction, inspect your sitar during seasonal changes. Watch for signs of cracks or buzzing and seek professional help if needed.

By following these care tips, your sitar will continue to deliver the resonant sound and traditional charm expected of ethnic Indian instruments, making it a lifelong companion in your musical journey.
