Joint Repair II

Sitar Factory Posted on Monday, 12 May 2008 by AnandaSaturday, 25 November 2017

This old Rikhi Ram is having a problem: the joint got loose.

I handled the same problem before on another (left – handed) RR sitar. On that occasion I made a new joint which took a lot of work to make it fit perfectly. Now I turned an old pressure cooker into a steam generator which is used for removing and loosening the animal glue.

First step is to open the sitar :

Then I drilled a fine hole in the corner area of the joint in which the needles will blast their steam.

I add water to the pressure cooker and have the power switched on …
