Sitars
Etc. was founded by Lars Jacobsen and subsequently operated by Bharat
and friends and operated from San Antonio, Texas,
USA which supports a growing community of musicians interested in Indian
classical music. It was established to provide professional instruments,
information, and to promote artists in the ever popular realm of Indian
classical music via the Internet. Sadly Bharat left us and the website has since
returned to Lars who had opened another store at http://www.raincitymusic.com
The development of the website
is currently on hold as we contemplate the merger of the 2 sites and we hope
that anyone who would like to
contribute articles, pictures, or have suggestions as to what content you would
like to see contact Lars at info@sitar-tabla.com!

Our Philosophy:Sitars Etc. was founded on the
premise that right action would achieve right results, an old concept but
one that is strongly adhered to. We will never misrepresent what we sell and
want your complete satisfaction at all times. We want to reach those
musicians that want a professional quality instrument within all reasonable
price ranges. No instrument will be sold that we would not own ourselves. In
order to overcome the stigma associated in recent times with musical
instruments from India we operate on a reduced margin and invest more at the
manufacturing level so as to bring you the very best which is hard, if not
impossible, to find elsewhere.
