Hemen & Co was started around 1947 by Late Hemen Chandra Sen. Hemen Ji used to learn about music from Ustad Allaudin Khan and one day his Sitar broke. He repaired the Sitar himself in a perfect manner and since then repaired many stringed instruments. This is how he gained wider knowledge about most of the stringed instruments and decided to start his own company.
Instruments manufactured by Hemen Ji were popular with famous music maestros like Ustad Amjad Ali Khan, Ustad Ali Akbar Khan, Ravi Shankar Ji and many others. Hemen Ji had also received the most prestigous awards namely Hafiz Ali Khan Award in 2001 and Vidyarthi Samman Award.
He used to manufacture his instruments with great precision. Till date Hemen & Sons manufactures instruments to fulfill the needs of his customers and deliver a concert quality product. Popular stringed instruments manufactured by Hemen & Co are Sitars, Sarods, Tanpuras etc.
