Sitar strings in Ireland ? (3 Viewers)

[Oggy Pip]

Hey all, Ive bought a Sitar and its missing a few strings. A quick web search revealed nothing in Ireland, the usuals are expensive with postage factored in (Thomann €30+ , Amazon £30+)

Does anyone in Ireland do them ?


Thanks

Strings.ie ?

probably too obvious.

Or,if you're not in a huge hurry,ask a shop can they get them for you.

best best is just to get a roll and cut them to length.

Most leave a load of it on the peg for quick change after breakage mid rag.

I've never even heard of that place! Cool, their search function comes up with nothing but their specialists, I'll drop them an email to see what they can do. THanks!

 

[magicbastarder]

is it a full size sitar or a baby sitar?

 

[Oggy Pip]

I think its full size, its about 5 feet tall.

 

[magicbastarder]

that was meant to be a joke.

 

[Oggy Pip]

Are you sure? Seems fairly logical to me.

 

[magicbastarder]

as in 'don't tell mom the baby sitar's dead'.

coulda strung that one along a bit longer.

 

[magicbastarder]

i didn't want the tension in the thread getting too high.

 

[ann post]

dont fret, people arent that easily wound.

Is the baby sitar dead, or is the chikari?

 

[Oggy Pip]

Glad I got some good advice before you punned my thread to death.

 

[shower another shower]

Aye, it is a gourd thing.

*bump*

So I got in contact with a guy from strings.ie and he sorted me out, very helpful.

[Oggy Pip]

No, just using guitar pick and fingers for now
