Hi! I am using Pyramid Gold short scale flat bass strings. They feel like eternal, sounds good and I like them. I’ve been using this set almost five years. Are there any recommendations how often they should be changed?

In reply to Debjit.

For Pyramid strings you should adress to: pyramid@junger.de or more info at http://www.pyramid-strings.de/
Silver or gold,… there is only a difference in sound. And, this is very personal… try it out with a couple of samples prior to buy your coil.

You could try the nickel flatwounds from Pyramid? Might be what you’re looking for. For bronze coated steel you could maybe see if Newtone can make them in the UK.

Dear Chico,
I never laid hands on this sitar, so I cannot say. But if this is a full sitar scale length (distance between jiwari and tar daan = 840 – 875 cm) then you can use this set.
Baj tar (playing string) = .012 (0.30mm), jora = .015 (0.38mm), laraj = .021 (0.56mm) and kharaj = .030 (0.72mm). Cikari and tarav = .009 (0.23mm).

With you large experience, what do you think about this sitar too? See ya! I love your blog that always show something new and interesting about this fragile world of the sitars.
