Tweaking your Sitar DVD
By Ashwin Batish.
Sitars coming out of India are invariably in need of tweaking. This is unfortunate as most of the new sitar students (and a few old ones) have no idea of the mechanics of a sitar and hence cannot set it to play in good intonation and with the proper action.
This not only makes your learning experience disappointing but is also a major barrier to a student's musical growth. This tutor covers many of the adjustments necessary to whip your sitar into performance shape.
Topics Covered
- Bridge adjustment using harmonics
* Tuning beads adjustment
- Tuning the frets for proper intonation
- Adjustments to maximize the sitar's meend
Program duration 62 minutes. DVD, NTSC format.
