Rain City Music is a full service site dedicated to providing the best available instruments and training materials used in Indian Classical music and World music. Started by Lars Jacobsen, the original founder of Sitars Etc., we only carry and represent instruments that we would own ourselves and therefore serve a small niche community of musicians......

How about a few CUSTOMER  REVIEWS?
