A few unsolicited customer reviews.....

 


Hi Lars,
just wanted to folllow up re below and also let you know that I received the shipment and everything was great. THanks for the calendar and agar bathi. I can't say how much I enjoyed the Introduction to Yaman. It is far and away the best video lesson for sitar that I have seen. I am really excited about your next project along the same lines. There are so many areas that could be covered and I think Indrajit is a terrific teacher- it reminds me a lot of the lessons I used to take with Amit Adiecha and also with Amit Chatterjee later.

thanks very much,
Naren

Hey Rain city music. I recieved the tabla and they are amazing..thanks again. great product! -justin


Hi Lars, hope all is well. I think I have forgotten to write and tell how much fun it has been so far to play that new sitar. So thanks again, I'm sure I will need something sitar related soon, and I'll give you a call. Keep those beauties coming! bye, nick


Thanks a lot! it just got here and everything is beyond beautiful, thanks for all of your help'

Hey Lars,

Just got the sitar and it sounds amazing.. It took me half a day to get it out of the box.. very well packed. Thank you for everything, you were very helpful with all of my questions and concerns.

Lars,

I just wanted to drop you a quick email to thank you
for a very satisfactory transaction. (Sorry if I talk like
an eBayer!!)

I couldn't be happier with the beautiful sitar I bought
from you. It plays and sounds like a dream!

Thanks also for the very careful job of packaging. I
feel like I got an excellent deal and you will definitely
get my business in the future and my highest recommend-
ation to those I know with an interest in Indian music.

One other thing: The intro to Raga Yaman DVD is awesome.
Definitely the next best thing to sitting in front of a live
teacher. This one should keep me busy for a few months
trying to absorb every nuance, but I look forward to the
next DVD. Keep em coming.

Sincerely,
Don D.


Hi Lars,
I received the sitar today! It is in perfect condition (very well wrapped). It is a beautiful instrument and I thank you for making this an easy and enjoyable process. Thanks also for the teacher recommendation, I will try to learn with him if my parents are up for the drive. My only question is what is the little cylindrical container for?
Thanks again!

Mr. Lars,



I received the Shristi Calcutta Special on Saturday. I wanted to first thank you for your patients with my 50 or so emails before I placed an order and I also wanted to say thank you for the amazing packaging job. As for the Sitar, I am extremely happy with it, it really sounds great, after tuning it yesterday I played it for about 8 or 9 hours straight, in fact I played so long that I hurt myself for not sitting properly (my back and poor leg, fingers are good as ever as I already have calluses from guitar). I figured out the tuning fairly easy as I thought it would be a nightmare and the action is not bad. I would like to talk to you about intonation in the future as I know how to adjust for such on a guitar but I am not so sure on the Sitar and I could use a slight adjustment on the MA string. It is very slight and I am working around it without much of an issue. When all's said and done I am very happy with my purchase and I kick my self for not getting one many years ago, I even figured out a few Manila Nag riffs by ear during the first day. Of course I have plenty of new questions but I will let them pile up and write you some time next week. I just wanted to drop a quick letter and tell you how much I appreciate what you are doing.



Thanks,

Jeff


Hi Lars!

I just wanted to say thank you so much for all your beyond excellent customer service, advice, patience and dedication.
I can tell you truly went above and beyond of what is expected and I am truly appreciate this; especially a beginner like me for whom the world of Indian instruments appears a tad intimidating : ) I know that my next purchase will be from Rain City Music.
I will recommend you to anyone who asks me and I hope that you will post this in your customer reviews so that people will know just how great the service, advice, attention to detail and instruments are at Rain City Music.

Wish you all the best,

Grace.


Hey Lars!
I love my sitar! I had my first 2 hour lesson (which turned into
3 hours because we got so involved and lost track of time)
with David. It was great! I can tell he will be an
awesome teacher.

Lars,

Everything arrived unharmed. I also already took the lesson with Indrajit. The sitar is beautiful and I am completely satisfied. Thank you very much.

Hey Lars,

I wanted to let you know that the sitar arrived in good shape yesterday-- it was well packed and almost still in tune!.....This instrument is outstanding, and the tone is beautiful. It's very hard to stop playing and put it down (but still possible because I need some practice sitting correctly for long periods). :-)

Thank you for your attention to detail, customer service, and all your other recommendations. The Ravi book is very nice, and so helpful.....

Best,
T.H.


Hello Lars,
I received the order today. Thanks for treating your customers like one would treat a good friend. I really appreciate the personal touches and I know all your customers feel the same way. Look forward to doing business in the near future.

Kind regards,
Ron
 


Hi Lars, got the Jaipur today, and it's more beautiful up close. Very
 nice feel to it as well. I haven't put it down for the past few hours.
 Everything was packed wonderfully and there was no problems with
 shipping. I'm a very happy camper. Thanks for the accessories as well, that
 rocks. Thanks for being so helpful the last few weeks, I'll be glad to
 recommend you for business and you'll be receiving more of mine. Thanks
 again

Peace

Istvan

After taking the new tabla downstairs where it is more resonant I  
realize that it is by far the very best tabla that I have ever owned.

I just wanted to thank you very much again, the ordered book/ Cd´s and narka arrvided in perfect condition today, a little delay was caused by our customs which sometimes are a bit "special".... I allready listen to this wonderfull interpretation of Rag Nat Bhairav, just deeply touching, great playing! .............

All the best, the "old European"

Hello again Lars. I received the tabla set on Monday......I can safely say that I have never seen a more beautiful instrument.  I have a lot of top class drum and percussion equipment but this my friend stands out in the crowd.  I also have to say it was a pleasure dealing with such a professional as yourself.  Your handling of the order to the updates on delivery couldn’t have been better.  If you are ever in the west of Ireland  drop me a line and we will have that pint.

Barun's Sitar is unbelieveable.....This Sitar is most definitely alive!  J.F. France


Hi Lars,

I wanted to let you know that all of the gear you sent is working nicely and I am very happy with it. Thank you for all the help. It is a pleasure to do business with you. All the best to you.

Peace & Blessings,

Hi Lars
I am very pleased with the sitar
The jawari is great, and the sound transfer to the sympathetics works well
It is inspiring

Thanks for getting me this sitar. It really is the reward I promised myself years ago. Now I have to strive to play it as well as I can learn to.

Lars, first of all I would like to thank you for everything, for all the care and attention. I am quite satisfied to have at least a Surokar, which so many people talk about. It was important to be able to play and have one in my hands.....
