These are great facts which my Gurudev Pt. Bimalendu Mukherjee sahab told me. I was very fortunate to hear from him. I am so grateful my Guru bhai has told these great facts for the benifit of new generation.
Hope you remember my dad Bikash Majumdar...He was the one who clicked your wedding pictures. We have high regards for your father and for yourself. So nice to see you in youtube.
Nice interview! But I didn't understand why Pandit ji said that Ustad Vilayat Khan got his instrument by luck. He actually worked on his sitar a lot and he knew precisely what to be done to get the sound he wanted. He got the _tabli_ to be made thicker because he knew it would increase the sustain of the sound. Also, closing the _jawari_ a bit gave his instrument the clear and singing tone instead of the buzzy sound with overtones (like Pt Ravi Shankar's sitar). So, there was very little, if any, luck involved in Ustad Vilayat Khan getting the instrument he wanted.

despite all the surface level work and finetuning the soul was unique in that sitar. many have attempted but have not been able to produce same tone
This is so enlightening. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely agreed pt. Ji
My situation is also same. Would you like to suggest me from where I should purchase sitar having that tonal quality.
Remarkable sitar player, with speed his tan Kari just like pure mathamatics,and too much scientific.
Back ground music, I think Sahana.
he looks a lot like Elon Musk since he cut his moustache.
woah! I'm a crazy fan of both!
What is the raga going on background ?? Is it Sindhura ?
mishra kafi I think, I heard it here czcams.com/video/_1MDtCQdiGo/video.html. But you could be right
Very less educational interview talim ki boht kami hai bhai he is Larry homes of sitar world
