From the Business:Greetings! My name is Tony Karasek. I have been actively involved in all aspects of India's music for over 30 years doing extensive instrument repairs, adjustments to concert artist's specifications, appraisals, teaching, and performing. The musical instruments of India are my passion in life. Through these years I have collected, restored and generally taken care of every such instrument that comes my way. Many trips to India on independent research and as a buyer for California based music schools and shops have presented the opportunity to learn much about not only India's music but how their instruments are made and their unique design characteristics.Due to increased market demand, the quality level of Indian instruments currently being produced has suffered significantly. (I made a living for years repairing them in California). Recognising this fact, I moved to Pune, India with my wife and family in April, 2003 to re-establish the high quality standards for instrument production. My intention is to produce a line of Sitars and Tanpuras based on those of the mid-20th century. After interviewing many instrument makers, I have selected one who understands and agrees with my objectives. I've brought along my vintage instrument collection, the best being used as models for the items shown here. The instruments now being built for me are to MY specifications and are very suitable for studio, concert use, advanced students or anyone who appreciates fine quality musical instruments. Every stage of the production process is personally monitored. That includes gourd and wood selection, interior inspection, general construction, varnish, trim and component quality. Details I am insisting on that no other maker is applying include the rounding of fret slots, fret edge smoothing, accurate peg placement, properly seated bridges and many other minute details. Please contact me with questions you have or any further details needed regarding these instruments. Read more
