Pakhawaj
Meticulously voiced with a solid spruce top and flamed maple back, this violin is set up specifically for Indian classical phrasing and micro-slides. A slightly flattened bridge curve, low action, and precision fine-tuners let you glide through meends, gamakas, and lightning-fast tans with ease. From Carnatic kritis to Hindustani thumris, it projects a warm yet sparkling tone that holds its own in any jugalbandi.
