This old Paloma sitar had been found in an attic. How long it stood there is not clear, but it may have been a while…. Paloma is a registered brand of Haribhau Vishwanath Diwane who distributed sitars from various builders under it. They are rather somewhat cheaper mid-range sitars for everyone. But there are also hidden gems among them. Who eventually made this sitar I don’t know, but it is definitely well made, and fitted with full decoration.
She has undergone a full restoration and is ready to please another sitar player. She is also very suitable for the committed beginner.
