## Description

Professional Quality Complete set of Sitar Strings. Includes String 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 2 Chikari, and 1 Tarafdar (Tarab - Sympathetic). Strings come in retail packaging, all strings are individually packed in paper packets.

Review: Professional quality strings - I purchased these strings on behalf of a client of mine who had me re-string his sitar. The strings were very forgiving, and felt of good quality. I was hesitant about having to cut the sympathetic strings individually, but there was plenty of string and it worked just fine. The next time I work on a sitar, I'll likely order these strings again.
Review: Quality enough for casual player - As a novice player I do not think that I would have been able to tell the difference between these and some $73 set. They were just fine. The resonating strings only took me about an hour to string them and all of the gauge was smooth and uniform unlike decades ago when Indian wire was not to be trusted. The top strings are all of equal and better quality as well and overall I'll be buying more of just this brand, they meet my needs and then some. Your dark sitar friend, Bubba ganache. Ps- you would think desertcart could figure out not to leave a package on the porch in the rain with thunder and lightning all rendering a completely drenched cardboard box. Absolute fools. Fortunately the strings are wrapped in plastic so no big deal, but where's the common sense my friends! That's twice they've left something on the porch in the middle of a rainstorm.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the Tarafdar include all 11 Sympathetic strings?**
A: Includes one roll of tarafdar wire, will be enough to them all and then some, I broke two long ones while restringing and still had some left over

**Q: How many sympathetic strings does this come with? Will this set work for my 18 string sitar?**
A: The set comes with one roll of tarafdar wire, you will have to measure and cut to size. My sitar has 11 and I broke a couple long ones when restringing with plenty left over so it should be enough for a 13 as long as you don't mess up too bad
