This is a note to all enthusiasts of Karnatic Music. Sometime back, I had purchased a series of cassettes (26 or so in number) covering the Melakartha and Janya Ragas from a well known musical shop in Chennai. When I started listening to it after returning to Mumbai the same evening, I found that the recording was absolutely bad. The shopkeeper was good enough to return the money after I sent the cassettes back to him through courier after packing it properly. I was very disappointed that I could not get the good audio quality (the shopkeeper had no facility to play the tapes to ensure the quality of sound when I purchased the cassettes).

Hence no matter how well known the shop is please do not purchase the cassettes unless you play the same at the shop and get convinced on the quality of recording.
