TABLA

Tabla is the most common percussion instrument in Hindustani music, and almost any concert will include a tabla player. The instrument consists of two drums, one played with the right hand, one played with the left. The right hand drum is tuned to the drone, and thus provides an extra reinforcement of the fundamental pitch.

SITAR

sitar is one of the finest instrument in carnatic and hindustani music. It is similar to that of veena



This very cool instrument was made by Jerry Jones in Nashville and is a reproduction of the Danelectro/Coral sitar from the '60s. It is just a guitar with a special buzzing bridge to make the sitar sound and "sympathetic" strings that don't vibrate sympathetically. Mine is heavily customized, of course. I didn't like the tuners, so I put mini Grovers on it.
