Sitar, a North Indian instrument, Ravi Shankar style. Beautiful inlay work. - Type: Sitar - Material: Unknown - Decoration: Inlay - Case: Comes with a dedicated case - Brand: Bharat Music House This is a used student model sitar, but unlike those being sold off in auctions (which are almost impossible for beginners to handle), this is a manufactured item. The strings have been replaced, and it has been maintained to a playable level, so if you can tune it, the jawari and sympathetic strings will resonate well. For a first sitar (for beginners and those in the early stages of learning) or for those who want to play rock or pop songs, a sitar of this quality should be sufficient. Thank you for viewing. Shipping will be via Sagawa Express from Tokyo. Consultations are welcome, but basically, it will be cash on delivery. Since this is a used item, complaints about minor scratches, etc., will not be accepted. Returns are not accepted except for malfunctions that make playing impossible. Please provide your [item] evaluation as soon as possible.
