In the AM in called my two music shops to get a price on the Sitar. Hired a car and scouted them both. After some minor negotiations (at the second shop) I put down my deposit on the Sitar. They will fix some minor cosmetic issues and pack it for suitable air transport for tomorrow. After exchange its about $140 CDN. It's not an Indian heirloom but is an Indian Sitar with too many string to deal with. I bought a 'How to Play Sitar' book at the mall for $2 - I will be a master within a decade - to be sure.

Can you play "smoke on the water" on the sitar?

Congratulations on the purchase of your new many-stringed instrument. I'll bring the pillows and the hookah for your first public performance...
