Born in a family of musicians, Sachin picked up playing musical instruments with a natural flair. Formal training began at the age of 9 under the guidance of his father Shri Manohar Patwardhan,a renowned Violinist and uncle Shri Vijay Patwardhan, a well known Sitarist.Sachin pursued his studies hand in hand with his training in music.He graduated with a degree in Science and afterwards completed his MBA.
Sachin is a multi-talented artiste who after attaining "Sangeet Visharad" as a Violinist, learnt to play the Guitar to explore the western school of music. Soon after that his keen interest motivated him to study the Sarod - where he carved a niche for himself, in the pursuit to attain mastery in the chosen field.
Sarod
He is fortunate to get the blessings and intensive training under the Guru - Shishya Parampara from the Legendary Sarod Maestro Padma Vibhushan Ustad Amjad Ali Khan Saheb since 1998.
His highly versatile and aesthetic perception of the Sarod has enabled him to touch the most profound depths of his instrument.His purity of style, uniqueness of imagination with his brilliant technique in which he blends the elements of "Gayaki" i.e. Vocal rendering and "Layakari" i.e. Instrumental rhythmic patterns, makes his recitals enchanting.
Spanish Veena
In his zest to achieve a seamless blend of indo-western music,Sachin performs classical compositions on "Spanish Veena" which is his brainchild. The Spanish Veena is actually a modified version of the electric guitar on which a full range of Indian Classical can be played like aalap, jod, jhala along with different kinds of 'gamaks' and 'murkis' which are specific to the Indian classical style of music. This, on the other hand is not possible on the standard tuned electric guitar.
Sachin performs extraordinarily on the Spanish Veena without compromising on his Indian classical techniques. His highly versatile and aesthetic perception has enabled him to touch the most profound depths of his instrument. His purity of style, uniqueness of imagination with his brilliant technique in which he blends the elements of 'Gayaki' i.e. Vocal rendering and 'Layakari' i.e. Instrumental rhythmic patterns, makes his recitals enchanting.
