wow! Thanks for the great amount of thought you put into your observations! I plan to try some of the ideas you suggested. Maybe my ears will also be better if I don't listen to the song for a while! peace r Check out my latest song called Back and Forth

like how that sitar bounces, nice, unusual rendition of 3 kings. like the tremelo in your voice. Would love to hear more of the sitar to coninue that theme cause the sitar was a real bonus in the beginning. Check out my latest song called The Bluebird Cafe (with two other guest)

Sitar I'm not too embarrassed to admit that I am struggling to tune that Sitar beast! It's a beautiful sounding instrument as well as a beautiful looking one - but man did I ever underestimate it's difficulty! Thanks for your comments! peace r Check out my latest song called Back and Forth

I think you've put together an exceptionally clear mix. Every instrument is clean. It doesn't sound dull at all to my ears - though the bass and nylon-string guitar add a certain mellow quality to the general timbre.
If you aren't hearing the sharpness you want I'd suggest at this point looking at indvidual instruments. You might try boosting the "scrape and ring" bands of the stringed instruments and/or using a compressor to extend the ringing of strings/percussion.
You might also consider swapping an instrument to change the sound. Bright steel guitar strings will bring much more sizzle to the mix than will nylon. You could also use drums that provide a hollow ring after each slap.
It all depends on why you want to change the current mix. I think you are bang on technically - all that remains is satisfying your artistic intent.
One thing I noticed is that the song is mixed right up against the speakers. The only voice with serious space around it is the solo guitar (great solo and tone, by the way!). I think this is a very effective approach. It almost feels like a physical shift in perception, like looking off into the distance, when the solo guitar appears.
