Shipping & payment
Our largest instruments, full-size tanpuras and surbahars, travel as dedicated freight rather than at a standard rate, so their shipping is quoted individually.
Payment is by card link for orders up to $700, or bank transfer for any amount. Import duties, where your country charges them, are payable on delivery and are not included in the price.
