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

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. James in Ireland
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,
Greg
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

note Harry passed away recently, a pillar of the sitar community
in Kentucky and one of the nicest guys you could know, we will
all miss you Harry!)
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.....
