Navdikar Musicals

Navdikar Musicals has been sitting here at 1692, Sadashiva Peth for quite some time now. If you know where Grahak Peth is, we are just right there. Most days it is just us sitting among the instruments, making sure things stay in tune and the strings are tight. It gets a bit crowded in here sometimes with all the various instruments tucked into the corners, but that is just how it is. We spend a lot of time just talking to people who walk in looking for something specific, maybe a flute or a set of tablas. It isn’t a fancy showroom with bright lights and glass cases. It is more of a working space where things actually happen. Sometimes the street noise gets a bit loud, especially with the traffic in the Peth, but we are used to that by now. We handle the usual repairs too, because instruments tend to get banged up or lose their sound over the years. It takes a lot of patience to get a sitar sounding right again after it has been sitting in a closet for a decade. We don’t really do much advertising or anything like that. People just know we are here near the landmark and they stop by when they need a new bridge or some resin. It is a quiet kind of business for the most part, though things pick up during the festival seasons. We just keep the doors open and see who comes through.
