Presented for your bidding pleasure is this Authentic made in India vintage Sitar. I purchased this from the original owner who told me that he purchased this in 1957 in India and brought it with him when he moved to the states in 1962. This finely crafted instrument is a playable work of art. It not only plays and sounds fantastic but is a thing of beauty for the eyes to behold as well. This Sitar is completely original. You only have to do very little research to find that all the great Sitar players of the world covet this particular make and model. I have loved and enjoyed this instrument for nearly 20 years but as you can plainly see from the pictures I am a collector and player that is just plain running out of room. Sitar also comes with a finely crafted custom made hard shell case. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your interest and God bless our troops.
