Bizarre Sitar 乍一看可能并不那么奇怪。它具有任何其他西塔琴的大部分元素,具有传统的葫芦琴体,主要可演奏琴弦和共鸣共鸣琴弦,parda(可调节弧形品丝),kunti(调音钉),dandi(琴颈),ghoraj(主琴桥)都配有橙色手绘口音。然而,这个小美女的长度刚刚超过 24 英寸,只有标准西塔琴的一半大小。单纯地变小一点都不奇怪,但奇怪的是它怎么能在这么小的体积下实现如此丰富、浓郁的声音。与其说是乐器,不如说是装饰,我们觉得这个小家伙被高度低估了。尽管说话轻声细语并且拥有比平时更少的弦(5 个主弦和 6 个交感弦),但这个“婴儿”西塔琴所需要的只是有人仔细聆听。我们做到了。很接近。
Bizarre Sitar may not seem so strange at first glance. It has most of the elements found on any other sitar, with it’s traditional gourd body, both main playable strings and sympathetic resonating strings, parda (adjustable curved frets), kunti (tuning pegs), dandi (neck), ghoraj (main bridge) all complete with orante hand-painted accents. At just over 24″ in length, however, this little beauty is barely half the size of a standard sitar. Simply being small isn’t bizarre by any means, but what is bizarre is how it can achieve such a lush, full-bodied sound while being so small. Intended as more decoration than instrument, we feel this little guy has been highly underestimated. Although soft-spoken and possessing fewer strings than normal (5 main and 6 sympathetic), all this “baby” sitar needed was someone to listen closely. And we did. Very close.
