Srishti Musical is a company from Calcutta, India specializing only in professional Indian instruments, sitars in particular. Srishti is Sanskrit for "Creation".... For some time now Calcutta has been the center of modern Indian Classical music and instruments. Many notable makers have come from here such as Hiren Roy, Hemen Sen, Kanai Lal (now closed), and other relative newcomers such as Mangla Prasad Sharma and others.....

One thing that many of the makers in Calcutta have in common is that some of the very talented craftsmen are hired as needed and have worked in several shops. If there is not enough work with one maker then they will go to another. With this in mind, some highly capable friends in India fully dedicated to the music, operate Srishti with the goal of producing the finest quality professional instruments, both in sound and beauty. And they have suceeded!! But don't be fooled, these are not mass produced! At present time for example, it can take 2 to 3 months to get 1 teak sitar or fancy Jaipur style sitar made! You can expect many good things both now and in the future from Srishti Musical! 

All work is carefully monitored during every phase of construction by Indrajit Banerjee who also oversees all adjustments and jawari. Then, they are air shipped to us in the USA. A full day is spent on jawari alone!! Here in our shop each instrument is played for several hours and fine tuned also to double check that everything is just right. We invite you look at the instruments from Srishti here on our site and listen to the sound clips and see for yourself!
