Role you're checking

String Instrument Maker

Trades

String Instrument Makers — luthiers, sitar-makers, and restoration specialists — hand-build and restore plucked, bowed, and sympathetic-string instruments from raw tonewoods and gourds. India's epicentre is Miraj, Maharashtra, a GI-tagged hub where multi-generational workshops (Wazir Khan & Sons, Gul Muhammad & Sons) produce sitars, sarods, tanpuras, and esrajs for Hindustani concert artists. Kolkata carries the legacy of Hiren Roy's workshop, which supplied instruments to Ravi Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan; Rikhi Ram & Sons in Delhi's Connaught Place continues that tradition for export and concert trade. On the Western-instrument side, Mumbai and Bengaluru-based restorers handle Stradivari-era and French Mirecourt violins for the orchestral community. Entry is almost exclusively through family workshops or Sangeet Natak Akademi-supported apprenticeships — no formal degree programme exists in India for lutherie.
