An Oldie but a Goodie
August 25, 2020
The oldest known melody - circa 1400 B.C. That drone note starts to drill into your head after a while.
The key is the shallow angle between the saddle and the string. A proper guitar bridge has a sharp break between the saddle and the string. This shallow angle causes the classic sitar buzz. This is a very easy part to make from any decently hard wood. A scrap of fretboard blank is ideal. A little experimenting, and you will get it. Then you can convert any guitar into a "sitar".
