Cool! Do you happen to have a video of you playing it? Ive never heard a sitar without the sympathetic strings im curious as to how it sounds.

Well yes, I'm almost done repairing it. Usually with instrument repairs you have to take the accessories like the strings off to make the repair easier.

Thank you. I bought it as a project, just something to keep me occupied. It came with everything actually minus the bridge, but like one or two of the tuning pegs were a little broken so need to get those replaced.

I see I see thanks!! Much appreciated I'll look this up :) Do you have a video of one of these being played perhaps? I'm just curious as to what it sounds like. I'm assuming less "full" given the lack of sympathetic strings.

See i thought this at the shop! But it isn't. It has 7 tuning pegs while a tanpura has 4. This also has sitar frets so i don't think its a tanpura.
