Hello, I just got a G.Rosul sitar Does anyone know any history about these sitars? The head plate says "G.Rosul" "Baikhali,Uluberia Howrah". It seems like a decent sitar,needs some jawari work though. Tone not as good as my Mangla rose petal but its ok.Once I get around to the jawari work it might improve. One of the tarb pegs needs to be replaced also. Any info would be welcomed, thanky!

Name indicates a Calcutta maker. But there are quite a few makers in Calcutta. .for that matter any major musical city (Delhi, Bombay, Miraj, Pune). Am not familiar with the maker though.

Well, there's another one I've never heard of but I know there are many many makers of instruments most of whom we'll never know. Since it says 'Dacca' on the name, perhaps we could safely assume it's made in Bangladesh?
