<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 602851, member: 55"]I think Banjira is basically a brand or importer name; I would just call this a sitar, child-size or half-size. I've got one myself; it is playable, and might be used by a small child; but more likely just made for sale to tourists or anyone curious about sitar-playing who didn't want to invest in a full-size sitar; they are pretty big, and good full-size ones are not cheap. Full-size sitars are around 4 feet long, so this one is about half-size.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
