Bought this instrument recently, based mostly on RR's reputation. It arrived in perfect condition. Setup was also perfect, and I'm enjoying the sound. At time of order, I listened to the sound patch several times, but would have preferred a video, as MM has done so well for other makes. Still, it all worked out.

I have been playing the sitar for 30 years now. I practice 3-4 hours everyday. I was looking into buying a new sitar for myself. The store has a fantastic selection of sitars. I have been to India many times but not found so many sitars in a single place. I ended up trying 7-8 different sitars and compared them to this one. The AJ Sitar was one of the best sitars I have played. Also its the best sitar they had at that time. I play on a Sanjay Rikhiram sitar which is a great sitar but the AJ one is better without being broken in.
