Made from white ivory and wood, bridges are considered perhaps the most important components of a sitar. They serve the function of holding the strings in place, allowing the strings to sustain, and producing overtones from the vibration of the strings against their delicate ivory tops. This handcrafted set comes with a larger bridge for the main strings, and a smaller bridge for the sympathetic strings. A damaged or inferior bridge set greatly reduces your sitar’s acoustic performance. Our sitar bridge set fits most sitars and can be easily installed with glue.
