I/M has been making great sitar for years, thanks to a combination of clever design and appropriate materials. The slots cut into the meru (nut) are only really present on the first string. It is sounding pretty good plus does not have volume and tone knobs. It comes with high action which covers up some of these defects. The tuners are open gear design, and the ends are made of plastic. It is easily fixed with a small screwdriver. The curvature of the bridge creates either a buzzy tone or one with less buzz and more sustain. It is defiantly for beginners that want to try it out.

These strings are usually high tension strings that can wear down the wood of even the best-made sitars. The reinforced seasoned teak column on the side takes the tension far better than most cedar-bodied sitars. It is brass, copper and steel to play in traditional acoustic mode, and 1 set is exclusively in magnetic steel to play in electric mode. This also helps the sympathetics stay in tune for much longer and a more resonant quality of sound.
