How to tune a Sitar - Ravi Shankar tuning

This video is about how to tune a sitar. I will be tuning a Kharaj Pancham style sitar similar to what Ravi Shankar from the Maihar Gharana would have played. This sitar will be tuned to C# for Sa.

This sitar was sent to me from http://olddelhimusic.com. They are not paying me to make this content and I will be returning the sitars to them. If you do purchase an instrument from http://olddelhimusic.com tell them that you saw my video and that I (Jeff Starr) sent you to their site. I get nothing in return, but it's good for them to know regardless.
