Surbahar Kunti Repair
Photo report of a Kanailal & Brother surbahar kunti repair.
The main kuntis of this surbahar are very specific. The surface is smooth and only cut with a saw. Original Kanailal replacement kuntis are hard to find. When it is broken, repair is the most obvious solution. In this case it affects a cikari kunti. Note the peculiar position on the neck: it is mounted between the first and second tarav kunti.
Kuntis are made out of sheesham (sissam) wood. This is a variety of Indian rosewood (Dalbergia sisso) which grows in the Himalayan foothills to Central and South India. Surbahar kuntis are rather long. I used a 18cms long piece for this work.
