<!-- about tantra musicals -->
Tantra musicals is run by musicians for musicians. We only sell the instruments we know how to play. Many sites sell sitars. We actually PLAY sitar. Buying a good quality sitar is no easy task. All sitars are hand made and of varying quality. They are unique in colour, set up, style and decoration. Most importantly, they differ in tonal quality. That is where we can assist our customers most. Beautiful sitars are great, but a beautiful sitar that SOUNDS great is the most important thing to us.

When we order instruments, one of our musicians takes the time to work with our makers to ensure that the quality and specifications are met. Then, when the instrument is complete, it is inspected before leaving India and after it arrives at our shop. All instruments are set up by us before shipment to the customer.

We only deal in small quantities. We only deal directly with makers who are not mass producing instruments. We feel that in this way we can guarantee quality.

Our goal is to take the ambiguity out of the instrument purchase process. Our musicians can work with you to help you decide what a good choice of style is and make it for the customer. Then we will get the best sitar in that style at a fair price. Our sitars are beautiful and meant to be played! In fact, sitars sound better the more you play them.

Some of our instruments are being played by our students, and they have been playing them for more than six years. Instruments should be good so that people will love playing it. It is very frustrating to keep a poor instrument it in tune with bad pegs and poorly done jawari sounds terrible.

Anwar Khurshid: Anwar Khurshid of sitarschool.com is the founder of tantramusicals.comAnwar Khurshid"My name is Anwar Khurshid and I am the founder of Tantra Musicals. I have been a teacher and professional sitarist based in Toronto, Canada for many years. I have played all over the world. Music is my religion and my life. Over the years I have met and played with top level musicians and I have established a network of musicians and makers so that I can get the best quality instruments around. Tanra Musicals is not just a business, it is a lifestyle. Many of my customers are my students. This was one of the founding principles behind tantramusicals.com, e.g. to provide high quality instruments for them. With the aid of the Internet, I think it is time to share this service with a wider audience. We have plans for online lessons, so that we can reach out to aspiring artists who either do not have access to a teacher or choose to study privately online."
