Mishra Khamaj at Home recording

had the wonderful opportunity to restore and adjust a student sitar belonging to my friend Pablo Eduardo. This instrument, about 8 years old, was crafted by the talented luthier Mohammad Waseem from Miraj, India — a city famous for its high-quality string instruments.

This sitar, in the Ravi Shankar style, already had an impressive original jawari, giving it a unique and authentic tonal foundation and response. During the restoration process, I focused on carefully preserving and enhancing this feature, meticulously tuning and adjusting every detail to bring the instrument back to its optimal sound.

Now, after the adjustments, the sitar not only looks refreshed but also has regained its incredible tone and responsiveness, making it a fantastic instrument for both students and seasoned musicians alike.

In this track, I demonstrate how it sounds after the restoration with a little improvisation. I hope you enjoy this musical journey!

La Chispa Adecuada es un temazo de Heroes del Silencio pulbicado en  1995, en donde el sitar ya estaba presente, y siempre había querido tocar.

Todo fluye si le aplicas la chispa adecuada
