One of Alan Kushman's many contributions to the santur has been to broaden its musical range by increasing the number of notes available to the musician, expanding the santur's typically restricted pitch range into an instrument capable of travelling previously unexplored musical territories. Alan designs & builds his own santurs, and, in addition to differing gauges of steel & copper wire, he uses piano & harp strings to create fascinating variations in tonal quality. Here, he's accompanied by Ustad Abhijit Banerjee on tabla.
