NEW TO SITAR???? There's an old saying "Where facts are few, experts are many"....while our knowledge is by no means complete, please visit the SITAR INFORMATION page and join us as we bust a few myths surrounding this fantastic instrument. It will hopefully be of help to those wanting to know more and it will give you some insight into the sitar, how it's made, and what to do when looking for sitar lessons.
