Beyond the ordinary

Our passion for refined instruments 

From Jason Kalidas ...

Indian classical music is my life's work. I have been through the long process of learning what quality instruments are .

Finding out the hard way, learning by trial sand error for many years  in my journey with Basuris,  Tanpuras and Tabla.  

I have gathered my long experience and knowledge and  made  shop. I have done this  to give quality assurance to artists and students so you don't heed to waste years  time and money making mistakes. The shop is also supporting the family's of my team  of expert makers.

About the indian musical instrument market

It's very difficult in the Indian musical instrument market to get to the premium quality instruments that you want .  The market is saturated with cheap creations .  Unlike western instruments which rely mostly on reputable branding for quality assurance, the Indian instrument market is way more personal. You need very good  knowledge of the instruments and you have to know the right people, and if you are missing just one of those - you are most likely going to end up with mediocre quality at best - many musicians will relate to this while reading ! 

Here I can guarantee you will find instruments that are  extremely difficult to source online and even very hard to find  in India itself.

The good news is  difference in price from low / medium quality to premium is not a huge gap , You are talking about a few more hundred dollars . Compared to buying premium hand built western instruments , which can run  into  thousands !!

our word..

"This instrument is absolutely divine! The workmanship and mastery that goes into these pieces are incredible. The seller was very nice and easy going- even providing me with pictures of the Tanpura's creation along the way, and helping me with tuning after its arrival. Thank you all so much for the hands that worked on such a beautiful work of art!"
