Late-1980s Rikhi Ram Gold Medalist Sitar

This sitar was purchased by its original owner directly from the Rikhi Ram shop in 1991.  It was in pristine condition when received by The Registry.  As photographed, it required only a fret polish, a very light French polish, a restring, and repair of one tarab peg.  A breathtaking and unsullied piece of ICM history.
 
This instrument is part of The Registry's permanent collection and is not for sale.
