The sitar is generally well made, sounds and looks very nice. Although he has a big problem with sympathetic strings, they get out of tune quickly and break easily. Tuning pegs are quite nice, they keep tuning up to 2/3 hours of play time. But taking the instrument the next day you have to tune it a little. Acoustically, this sitar sounds very beautiful, but as I mentioned it has a few problems. However, in this price range, I think it is worth trying as a starting point for your sitar adventure!
