Welcome to Profesar Haji Abdul Karim Satarmaker, a name deeply rooted in the rich traditions of Indian classical music and instrument craftsmanship. Our family has been devoted to the art of sitar making for over 200 years, with the knowledge and skill passed down through four proud generations. What began as a humble craft has grown into a lifelong mission to preserve and promote the soul of Indian music.
For the past 30+ years, we have been actively involved in every aspect of India’s musical instrument field — from intricate repairs and fine-tuning for concert artists, to crafting custom instruments, appraising rare pieces, and sharing our knowledge through teaching and performance. Whether it is a sitar, tanpura, surbahar, or other traditional instrument, we approach each with reverence and expertise.
Our instruments are known not only for their exceptional tonal quality but also for their authentic craftsmanship, using traditional methods and carefully selected materials. Each piece is handcrafted with a deep understanding of both its physical construction and its spiritual essence.
Music is not just our profession — it is our heritage, our passion, and our lifelong pursuit. We take great pride in contributing to the legacy of Indian classical music by serving musicians, students, collectors, and connoisseurs from around the world.
