Choice Items

  • Shipping:  Due to the Covid crisis, I am receiving and sending instruments internationally throughout Europe over the post. This is far cheaper than I imagined and the items can be insured up to €5500.  For example, at the moment, a fully insured packed sitar of 12kg, to Germany with track and trace is €50. I use PostNL. Maximum sizes are 175cm x 78cm x 58cm. Each country has it's own prices, rules and regulations so be sure to check out your options.
  • Discover the 4500 year old origin of the sitar and tanpura bridges Origin of Jawari  Links to this page are included in the new scientific book "Acoustical Analysis of the Tanpura". 
  • Need advice replacing strings? We have made new videos. Instrument maintenance videos  Also, this article will help you.  Replacing strings

Interesting Projects

With Dutch film maker Jasper ter Mors, we have produced some instruction videos on basic sitar and tanpura maintenance. You can find the videos here Instrument maintenance videos and on YouTube.
