    • The finish is “french polishing” proces. We use mixture of shellac grains with spirit. For any cracks etc. we use ordinary wood glue (white stuff)… In case of need to fill-up we mix this wood glue with wooden dust and plaster. Watch here.

  10. Hello everyone. I have started listening to some classic indian music in the last couple of months and i have become attached to the sitar through this music. I have been playing the guitar for only about 4 months, but i know my way arou.d the guitar. I would love to eventually learn the sitar after the guitar. Does anybody know where i could find a handmade sitar for about $500 – $700. I know thats not much but i figured it can get me something. Please no chinese factory made crap. Preferably a quality sitar handmade. Thank you! 🙂
