The bottom of a Sitar is made of a gourd (a pumpkin) and the old one that I own now has a split down the middle.

Years ago when there was no gap, I could tune it and goof around with it and had a blast. This exotic instrument did not come with a case (very unfortunate) and this is where I made the fatal error. Honestly, I was afraid of the price that might come along with getting one, what a fool or tool I was back then!

Does anyone out there in the Toronto area (GTA) know of any places where I could have them take a look at it to determine if it is really worth restoring? I and it would really appreciate it, companies that you have had direct and favorable results with only, please.

I was in college when I got it from a family friend in Brantford. He told me that he bought it that way. When I get do some extra money, I think that I might try picking one up again because it brings such a unique colour to any song.

Keep on Jammin’
