Has any one else here at good old TOTSE listen to Ravi Shankar. For those who don't know who hw is, Ravi is a classical Indian musician. For those who do listen to Ravi, what is your favorite song? Mine is Ravi and Ali akbar Khan "bangla Dhun"

I listen to a lot of indian music, not too much Ravi Shankar though.

Interestingly enough, my next door neighbors name is Ravi-Shankar.

He's ok i suppose. Its not my cup o' tea. But I want a sitar [is that what he plays] they sound rad, so do banjos.

Yes, he plays a sitar.

If you really want one, I suggest ebay, American companies that make them are damn expensive.

ravi's a good man. i love on the concert for bangladesh hes on the stage fiddling around on the sitar and all the trendy folks that wanna act like they dig world music are cheerin then ravi says something like "thank you for cheering for me tuning my instrument"
i thought that was cool

I looked on Ebay for a sitar, since I want to mke that my next instrument, they were $599! I don't have that kind of money.

Possible to mod? Well, not exactly.

However, this was attempted in the late 60s.

Many companies produced guitars with special bridges that caused lots of extra buzzing (sounded a little like a sitar). However, none of these really took off. You might be able to find one of these special instruments on ebay.

AND, $599 is very good for a sitar.

I'm learning how to play it myself (getting lessons from someone), I don't even own one, i just use one of his.
