Ya - it's same!😳

I cannot play anything to save my life... but love the sound of sitar, bansuri and piano.. I would love to learn some percussion instrument like the tabla or the pakhwaj.

I love listening to Vilayat Khan's sitar playing. His sitar and his playing technique sounds so sweet. I hearing a sitar that doesn't buzz (bandh jawari), but it adds more fluidity and sustain to the sound.

Friends, pay attention whenever you hear sitar next time. Listen to see how much buzz you hear.

KHULLA JAWARI (full buzz) = higher volume, low sustain, heavy buzz. Pt. Ravi Shankar likes this.

MEDIUM JAWARI (not so much buzz) = mediocre volume, low sustain, not as much buzz. Pt. Nikhil Banerjee liked this.

BANDH JAWARI (least amt. of buzz) = not so high volume, high sustain, no noticeable buzz. (sounds like a guitar, if you try it out). The high sustain and lack of buzz gives it potential to do more ornaments in music and perform what is known as the "gayaki ang" or add a vocal style to the sitar or whichever instrument. Pt. Vilayat Khan liked this style. I like this style too.

Speaking of sitar, I am working on inventing a new sitar that retains the same sound and playing technique, but much easier to maintain.

Yes I know.I started playing it as a kid and it was much bigger than my frame to handle..and at the same time the tumba is so fragile. Kishore_Bhakta ji..please enlighten me more about the Sitar you are working once you are done with it.

I agree..and I too like Bandh Jawari..but my Guruji unforunately liked Khula Jawari and always insisited me to follow that..so I learnt that way. Here in US we generally get CDs of Pt. Ravi Shankar only in the bookstores..I am looking for a CD of Ustad Vilayat Ali Khan.
