How to replace a sitar fret

[@materiagrezza9331]

I don't even own a sitar but this is hypnotic to watch. I think that just owning a sitar is an art by itself.

Your welcome

[@PeterGrenader]

it would have been helpful if you told us how many times to loop the thread into each fret groove!

[@jawari5]

Yes Peter, you are right. This varies, as some sitars have 2 on each end, and some sitars have 3 on each end. Check the other frets to see how many they have.

I struggle with this. But, to tell the tooth I am trying to use dental floss

Haha, your very creative. However, I do suggest that you use either fishing nylon line, about 0.60mm thick , or the sitar fret thread available from any instrument maker in India, or from India-Instruments in Berlin, Germany. www.india-instruments.com/sitar-accessories-details/frets-fret-silk.html
