Jawari, the soul of sound
I am extensively featured in a new video made by Saraswati Art in Amsterdam about the jawari and my life as a repairer of Indian instruments. I talk about my life in the world of Indian Instruments, my passion. The jawari is known as the soul of the sound on the Indian string instruments, in this mini-documentary, I explain some of my process and vision on this profound and delicate method of creating that unique sound of India. My thanks to Sharmili and Siddharth Kishna of Saraswati Art in Amsterdam for asking me to do this project.
