| New here, with a question...trying to get my hands on a ravanhatta Hi I'm Patrick and I need a favor. Over the past few weeks I have been trying to get my hands on a ravanhatta, a stick fidddle used by the bhopa community in rajasthan. But, alas, no success. There are simply none to be had, ebay, amazon, I know no nobody from india and I am not in the position to be travelling there myself. Any assistence in where to buy one or where else to ask would be greatly appreciated. ps. should i have posted all that in a different forum? |

| Hi Patrick, welcome to the site and good luck with your search. Is this wanted for a collection / exhibition or have you somehow learned to play?

| Suggest you include the instrument name in the thread title*: those with such specialised knowledge might, or might not reply to a thread that looks like a general intro that might include a travel question. Ways to get the most out of the site! Speaking of which... Welcome! *click on the EDIT button on your post and then click the Go Advanced button: the advanced-edit screen allows the title to be changed, the quick-edit does not. |

| Well I have a collection of stuff/instruments from other countries but I'm more interested in playing it than having it hanging on a wall. I don't know how to play it but I think I could. I would change the title but I think there's a 90 second time limit? |

| If you can't change it, you can request a moderator to do so (names on the homepage, just click)

| I sent a note to the mods to come and have a look. There is a time limit on editing, but, on this forum, I think it is days. Certainly not seconds! |

| I have modified the title to include the name of the musical instrument.

 Patrick, let us know how you get on - if you do manage to find one, post a picture of it, because I confess I haven't the faintest idea what it looks like. | |
