Rajeev Janardan plays Raga Bhimpalasi alap on Surbahar Have there ever been Alembics created with sympathetic strings for intentional drone affects? |

That was nice. I like the deeper tone of the bass sitar. I had never really focused on the extent to which strings are bent and the degree of control with which several different notes are played on one bend. |

That sounds cool. It also makes the guy look like he's like two feet tall against a normal sized sitar. Quite a few years ago, I saw a brochure for a bass guitar that had frets at irregularly shaped intervals, like a sitar, I guess. Anybody know what I'm talking about? I didn't catch the brand name. |
