This Radha Krishna Sharma & Co brand, professional quality, single toomba sitar comes strung in the 6-string style; with 4 main, 2 chikari and 11 sympathetic strings, approximately 48-49 inches in length. Includes extra string set, mizrabs, information and tuning guide (Book or CD-Rom as stock allows), and nylon case. While most double toomba sitars are strung in the 7-string style and single toomba sitars in the 6-string style, you can change the style of your sitar by re-stringing it with the appropriate number and gage of strings.

Without the small neck resonator these sitar are less top heavy as compared to the traditional double toomba sitar. Radha Krishna Sharma & Co., was established in 1948 by Sri Radha Krishna Sharma.
