Robin Hill and his Electric Sitar

I knew this would happen.
After listening to Pat Metheny the other day Robin just couldn't resist getting out his electric sitar.



He plays a Jerry Jones Electric Sitar and as you can see, there are the conventional strings as you find on an ordinary electric guitar, but also there are 13 sympathetic strings.
These are designed to resonate as you play which, along with the special bridge, gives the 'sitar' sound.

I do have some recordings of Robin playing this but at the moment we are compiling a CD worth of music to release at a later date....
So watch this space for more information.
