Thank you Mr Shankar, you are sorely missed.

So, the great master Sitarist of thr 20th and 21rst centuries just declared that he plays a Rikhi Ram sitar at 2:18 . Say no more, I’m getting a Rikhi Ram sitar then. I’ll visit the shop in New York City.

What amazes me is guitar builders in the US use sophisticated tools, cnc machines etc and yet these guys sitting on the floor using their feet to hold the pieces using hand tools turn out stunning instruments!!!

[@TejasM14]

That is nothing to be proud of. The important thing is new improvements are being made, and if the instruments churned out are of good quality. And sadly neither are the case. It is very frustrating to find instruments, particularly sitars, in India. The masters are leaving the trade, their children don't seem to have the mind to continue the craft, due to a variety of complicated situations. In the west, I can find a proper violin, which is almost entirely handmade. China is starting to make some very good instruments too. But in India, quality control is non existent. So if you are lucky, you may find an instrument that plays well. But the average instrument is not good. I bought an instrument made by Barun Roy, Hiren Roy's (a now deceased very famous maker) son. It is not up to the mark, and he is thought of among the best makers alive. Worse still, he is leaving the trade. I hope for positive change to happen.

Anyone know the name of the vegetables @ 0:17 or @ 0:25?
Thanks in advance, peace.

[@DurantaRangan]

In case you are still interested,
The vegetables are GOURDs. It is a RARE species of Gourd which is bitter in taste and not edible at all.
Cultivated traditionally in two places,
1.Nadia district of West Bengal, India and
2.Meerut of Maharashtra, India.
These are cultivated only for making instruments like Sitar, Surbahar, Tanpura etc.
That's all about it, hope you don't need a cooking guide.😂🤣😂
