Setar
I'm looking for a very good quality Setar. I know the members here are some of the most well informed ethnic music players and students around. So I
hope someone can offer some advice.
I'm looking for an instrument that a teacher would recommend for a serious student. Something affordable but very well set up and with good sound and
quality.
Any advice would be very welcome.

Hello Tkoind!!
I have a professional sitar MKS (Monok kumar sardor) from Kalkuta and I´m happy with the sound, the important for one sitar: you must buy it
with a fibreglass case and if you can see someone forget the decoration and look attentivly the gourd, all the bridges will be of bone and ok, listen
the sound with a good tunning. You can see the pages that I send you but there are many more english pages about setar. Try to look for a distribuitor
of indian´s instruments in your country because is better play before buy.

Good luck and congratulations for your music.

I bought mine at:
http://www.anatolia-store.com
I´m so happy with it: great sound, hard box, nice looking, great price....and my teacher says it´s good (for a student as me)
the only thing I don´t like is the frets. I prefer nylon frets as the saz, but are the same for all setars.
good luck
