Very nice web site. I wish I found you sooner. Nice instruments at very competitive prices.
I am an rank amateur sitarist/surbaharist who has fallen in love with Indian string instruments. I have been picking up junker sitars on EBAY now and again to practice restoration, esp. birdheads, esp. R.Ram. thanks for your work |

I have always loved the sound of the sitar. Now that I am seroiusly looking to purhase one I have searched out for makers and your site came up. I have book marked it so I may revisit it in the near future. I have no idea what to look for when selecting a sitar but enjoyed reading your comments. Maybe one of your models will be selected or maybe I will have a custom one made.
Thank you! |

Dear Tony. I cannot get through to your e-mail account.
I am interested in your shallow-profile ľ sitar.
On your website it is indicated that you expect more of these to be ready by now.
Please inform me on availability and prices of these instruments.
Looking forward to your answer,
Many thanks in advance.

Hi Tony and Shai,
Hope the health probs are beginning to clear up. Decided to have another drool at the sitars. I miss my model 'B'......but its got a good home, I trust. Maybe one day.......I'll be able to replace it with one I've wanted to see created.......inspired by my Celtic roots....and LOTR.
Blessings
Ken.

This site, and your instruments, and your museum are awesome. No one else communicates such a sense of awe and reverence for the beauty of these instruments. I aspire to owning one of your sitars, one day. It is great to come here and enjoy your work. Thanks. |

THIS IS A BRILLIANT SITE! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE SITAR, AND HAD ONE MANY YEARS AGO. YOUR INSTRUMENTS ARE TRULY BEAUTIFUL. I HAVE A QUESTION- IN RAVI SHANKAR'S BOOK -RAGA MALA- HE SAYS HE HAD A NEW SITAR MADE WHEN THE JAWARI WAS GETTING WORN ON ONE OF HIS OTHERS. WHY NOT JUST HAVE A NEW JAWARI MADE FOR IT? MANY THANKS AND BEST WISHES FROM ENGLAND. ALAN. |

Just want to say what a wonderful job is that you are achieving!!!
Im very interested in your creations, they are surely priceless masterpieces. Currently cant afford one... But i am very curious if your company makes a more affordable line of instruments for begginer players like me. In any case I think they are great and im sure they are worth every rupee...!!!thanx a lot!! |

I've enjoyed browsing your site. I haven't seen information here as to how to purchase a standard instrument. I'll be in the market to buy a pro quality sitar in 12 months. I hope to track your progress as you become settled here in the states. Please feel free to stay in touch. |

I guess you must be in Chicago as you told me when I spoke to you a couple weeks ago. I have some free time now, and also the means to undertake that dream tanpura we discussed, and also tweak my current (3) tanpura jawaris and give me some guidance on how to do that for myself. Please let me know at your earliest. I'm really excited to find someone on the East Coast within 500 miles of my home whom I may be able to trust with my jawaris.
Best wishes,
David Taylor |

How are you doing? Hey this is a new feature, the message board? A good one, now that everyone can pen something in appriciation of your beautifull work. Your sitar (now mine) is just doing fine. Its getting better day by day. I played in an ochestra again, a composition based on Kafi, very nice. I want to get the fully carved double thumba sitar as we planned. Is the project still open. You can revise the price to suite the inflation ....Mmm.. Sorry for not being in touch for a long time for personal reasons. Give my regards to Shilini as well..... |

Hey Tony,
Whats up are you in India? I just came across your site, wow you have been busy!!! this is great! It looks like you've come a long ways since the Carlsbad days. Hope I can play one of your sitars soon. My website is www.tanpura.com to get current on my thang.
All the best!

Hello gentlemen!
My name is Joshua Stanton, sitarist, of Winnipeg. The work represented on your site, I have to say, just floors me. The Don sitar, the Ari sitar (I studied with Ustad Irshad Khan; love "gayaki" sitars) and the Burma Teak: a living dream, to its bones! --A true masterpiece. The duck nuts, I almost can't believe. Mr. Karasek, sir, you are a DESIGNER! --and, need I add, a genius. I myself have dabbled in these things, though with comparative modesty...You might get a "kick" out of my Dobro-Vina; it's on joshuastanton.com. Played upright, like an electric guitar, it's a prototype I've worked on since '93. I am going to put all of my music-friends onto your site. Simply amazing! -Joshua |

hey there, awesome site. Finally I think we found someone who can probably make Indian instruments with the same presicion high quality western instruments are made.
I'm the son of the late Sarod master Vasant Rai, my brother and I have been thinking for a long time to reengineer this instrument as the present version of the hemen sarod is very unergonamic. (did I just screw up that word)?? anyways you know what I mean!
I'd love to talk to you more about this.
maybe we can work together and improve this instument.
Btw I love your attention to detail!!

Your instruments are beautiful in appearance and sound. My son Eli is taking lessons from Roger O'Dell here in Roanoke. As I told Roger the sound is "Ear Candy" Hope to meet you in March.

Hello Tony,
I would like for you to check the instruments that were made in Lahore, Pakistan around the time it separated from India. I still think that a great many sitar makers are still producing good instruments.
It would be fun if you come across one from the 1920-1940 era which was made in Lahore.
Good Luck

Your sitars look equisite. I'm going to India in 2008 and can only hope to have a much closer look. My current sitar's jawari is fading and I need a new one (sitar, that is....!!) |

Hi Tony,
Just a short self-introduction,
I have been following your advise on the Sitar forum since March 2006.
And I've been wanting to make contact since the summer. At this point I just want to say THANK YOU !!! for sharing all your beautiful photos with novice musicians and web surfers like myself.The photos are Magic and sustain me (and many others I bet ) with joy and hope.I'm one of those dreamers that likes his sitars Very shiny and deeply carved.And yours are just that.
On your posts on the forum, there are subtle comments that you may be returning to the west - continental North America,is this true? |

Tony, This is exciting!! A new msg. board! Countdown continues until you send my new sitar child. Thank you for all your artistry, advice, etc... So satisfied I spent the extra $$ for a top quality, individual sitar from you instead of a mass produced headache.
Can't wait to start my Sitar Journey & you've made it possible! I will recommend you to everyone who's interested!
Thank you. |

G'day tony, we met in Sept. 2004 through a friend of mine named Paul Eagle how happened to buy a sitar off you at the time.You also set up my Dilruba for me that i got in Pune,which by the way is doing just fine.
I bought Pauls original sitar and have been playing it daily working through Ravi Shankar exercise book.Anyway thought i'd
say Hi and that i'm looking forward to coming back to India again.By the way your Sitars look amazing!!! Hope to own one
of those babies one day.
Take care
