I have a basic sitar- I paid $400 for 20 years ago. It needs strings & tuning. Is this something you would be willing to do?

Thank you- Jamie Christie

It’s a beautiful instrument, but it’s missing a lot of the strings, and the back (bowl) is cracked as if someone dropped it. I am wondering if you would even consider looking at it (I can send you pictures), and if you could give me a rough estimate of what it would cost to fix, or if it’s even worth fixing. I have a limited budget, so I can’t afford to spend much on the repair. I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you,
Billy Archuleta
