The sitar of my dreams has come to life!
I approached KS Sitarmaker with a very detailed and specific ask; a flat back electric sitar completely customized and vegan; free of animal parts and they achieved it completely. They were able to beautifully create this instrument with golden doves of peace flying into the tree of life accompanied by a lotus petal mandala. The design in person is just amazing. And the sound… Wonderful; the sustain is long, crisp melody notes with deep bass tones and the sympathetic strings sing nicely. Very good professional setup and jawari too. They kept me updated with every step of its creation and respected my suggestions. For this reason it was great to work with them.
They are artist builders but can play the instrument nicely too, so they really understand the importance of a solid build.
Thank you!

I am absolutely thrilled with this instrument! It is wonderfully rich in sound and beautifully carved, inlaid, and finished. K.s.sitarmaker worked with me to customize the instrument, sent me updates every step of the way, and mailed it with extra strings and a fantastic case. He was very responsive and engaged and I couldn`t be more happy with the result. I look forward to working with him in the future!

I had been looking at sourcing a tanpuri for many years now ~ having sought advice from Europe it was recommended that I go with K.s.sitarmaker ~ the entire process was seamless it was lovely to have Kayyum send regular progressive photographic updates and i am so happy with the Tanpuri they lovingly crafted and sent to me here in Manyana a small little surfing village 2 hours out of Sydney Australia I highly recommend K.s.sitarmaker

To describe the experience of ordering an instrument from K.S. Sitarmaker is an experience that is absolutely one of the most incredible I`ve had. The honor and privilege to be able to contact the Sitarmaker family in and of itself is a most powerful thing, and then to be able to watch over the months it takes to construct one of these beautiful instruments as it is formed is simply not equaled.

Mr. Sitarmaker and family kindly sent detailed photos and video of every step; I simply was in awe at the craftsmanship, the artistry and the beauty of watching from the inception of my Tantura being made.

Every detail I requested was added with the quality of what I can only describe as the finest in the construction of any instrument I`ve owned (which have been many over these 53 years of my life). The excitement of being able to own such a wonderful instrument from the makers to Kings and Queens since the inception of classical music in the great country of Bharat is the greatest thrill of my lifetime. Upon arrival, I shed tears at the majesty of the detailed beauty and sound of my Tanpura

Even to call this beautiful instrument as something that is owned strikes me as a prideful claim, as she will far outlive me, and pass into the loving hands of many others once I am gone.

The love and care that went into her making can only be described as equisite. For this I am eternally grateful to the Sitarmaker family and especially to Mr. K.S. Sitarmaker for his undeniable ability to craft an instrument whose beauty - both physical as well as its sound and tone - are unequaled in this world.

Anyone who appreciates the quality of a true classical instrument should look no farther than the Sitarmaker family for what will be a joy for a lifetime, and many lifetimes to come.

This treasured instrument made by K.s.sitarmaker has been a wonderful addition to my practice of sound yoga.
Every step was made to ensure the style of was suitable for me and lovingly handcrafted and arrived perfectly to Australia. So much attention to detail from the sound of the instrument to the most beautiful hand carving & painting. Thank you for this beautiful treasure

I am very pleased with my Ravi Shankar style sitar from KS Sitarmaker. Very beautiful art work and lovely wood color exactly how I had wanted!
The instrument was beautifully made within the requested time frame, KS sitar maker ji also sent pictures of the sitar construction progress. The Instrument came in a sturdy hard case and in perfect condition from India to United States. The sitar sound is just great, all my family members and friends loved hearing me play the sitar. I would definitely recommend KS sitar maker if you are looking for a great quality sitar and also within reasonable price. Thank you KS sitarmaker for this masterpiece.

I can easily say that this Sitar is the most special and exciting instrument of my others. Being able to play Raga music is satisfying experience with this Sitar. After long searching period, I found K.S. Sitarmaker and I`m really glad. Kayyum Ji did a great job from start to finish, in all processes, even after receiving it. This sitar is amazing. Sound, craftsmanship, details, and packaging is excellent. They always helped my questions patiently, and implemented all my personal requests. Everything is so satisfied and I am really happy.

“Of all the instruments I’ve had in my life, this one has the most special soul! I feel that playing this tanpura is making me a sweeter singer and more calm musician. I feel so grateful to have brought some of the magic of Indian classical music home with me, in such a unique form as this specific instrument. And working with you was so easy - because the interactions were so smooth, I trusted from the very beginning that I would get a super high quality instrument. And I couldn’t be happier! Thank you k.s.sitarmaker! "

Kayyum Satarmaker has made me not only an extraordinary tanpura but also an incredible beautiful piece of art. Every detail is perfect and made with such love and care. Most importantly the sound is beautiful and just perfect. I have also been met with a professionalism throughout the whole process since ordering my tanpura 4 months back till I received it in my home in Sweden. I can highly reccommend Kayyum Satarmaker and wish him and his family the best of luck in continuing making the very best instruments.

The piece we play and sing is what we want to communicate. Those are emotions of a person that play a very important role.
I`m blessed that this wonderful Sitar came in my Music family. I`m soo soo blessed that whatever I wished long back- that how my sitar would be, the design and of particular style all came in one frame. My Krishna made this possible to bring this wonderful wonderful , amazing instrument in my life.
