Hello, my question is: are sitars made for left handed players?
A Yes, sitars are made for left handed players. As with most left handed instruments not very many are made. I can supply a left handed deluxe model for $690 including case, 2 mezrab (picks), and a spare set of strings. Shipping and insurance, if you are in the US, would be about $60.00. Payment may be made by cashier’s check or money order. Personal checks take about 10 days to clear. Credit cards are not accepted as this is a small business. I have just made up a special page showing a photo. of this for you. You can see this at: http://www.buckinghammusic.com/shru/shru.html This is a fair quality sitar which should carry a beginner for a few years depending on how dedicated the student is i.e. how quickly study progress is made so how soon a fully professional instrument is required.. Custom, professional grade, left handed sitars can be made but these are expensive and the wait for one to be made would be about 3 months . For example a Rikhi Ram (Rikhi is a very good custom maker)
