This is the story of the world famous Sitar Maker family and the globally desired instrument, that plays the single note of “Sa” where all of music begins. For nine generations the Sitar Maker family of Miraj has been crafting Tanpuras. Sitar Maker. This is their surname, a titular one handed from generation to generation. From the humble pumpkins of Africa to the instrument at the heart of classical Indian music, the tanpura’s journey is one of magical transformation. A commitment for life, one instrument travels with every musician for his entire lifetime.
