Never been a fan of the Sitar.
The sound of one just reminds me of a curry.
I don't mean to be flippant, I understand it's a complex musical instrument which takes years to master and I have a healthy respect for Shankar and the tradition of the instrument, but I never quite got the attraction that Jones and Harrison had for it.
And at a risk of sticking my neck out, I can't help but feel their interest in it was a bit affected.
