This is Sitrazz - a fusion of Guitar and Sitar, an instrument developed or innovated by Chirag Katti. Have posted a short video clip on the side bar of his performance.

I have discovered this instrument in my summer school. I did photography and there were music students with this strange guitarre I had never seen before.
I played guitar, albeit poorly, in my youth. A sitrazz would have sent me running away screaming in frustration. Looks very difficult to play! Fascinating though. BJ
Fascinating - Looks hard to play but it must have an amazing sound.
ReplyDeleteNice capture.....

ReplyDeleteThe biggest drawback to this week's theme is not being able to hear sounds like this.
