We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate sitar. The i/m indian sitar is exactly that - it's a simple sitar that hits all the right notes. It's a nice looking instrument. The tuners are open gear design, and the ends are made of plastic. The curvature of the bridge creates either a buzzy tone or one with less buzz and more sustain. It comes with high action which covers up some of these defects.
The slots cut into the meru (nut) are only really present on the first string. It is easily fixed with a small screwdriver. It is defiantly for beginners that want to try it out.
Why We Like This:
Tone is thin and very bright
Good option for the guitar player who is looking for a new sound

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.

The zcbybt indian sitar's material feels more premium than its price would suggest. There are three or four playing strings and three or four resonating strings that hump and hum. It is somewhat similar to other indian stringed instruments. It is made of teak, mahogany and gourd, metal, cheerful and elegant tone, suitable for travel or festival performance. These strings are almost never played, but vibrate whenever the corresponding note is played.
The strings are plucked with wire picks, and there are also a series of resonating strings lying across the fret below. It is easy to connect with guitar amp, lightweight carry bag, best for travel.
