Indian Classical Instrument Enayet Khan SITAR SURBAHAR

$

29

Please note that this is a 10 Inch 78 Rpm Record. Check my other auctions- around 60 Indian 78 rpms listed (mostly classical instrumental / vocal. Few are bollywood filmi instrumental).

Everything you see here is taken from the actual record. Finding a 78 rpm India is not difficult but finding a 78 rpm in good condition is not easy. Out of 100 such records i come across, only 10 % are in playable condition. I don't think that a single word could describe the condition of record specially Indian records, where even most of the unused records have pin point marks / small scratches due to mishandling. More than 95% area of such unused records can be graded as NM / Mint but rest of the 5% area which contains small defect is in poor condition. Result is - neither record is mint nor in poor condition. All such defects (if present) are quoted separately in condition para. Guaranteed strict and detailed grading from India. The only limitations are :

1. All records are cleaned by triple deionized distilled water because i don't have any solution that will work on 78 rpm (I use Discwasher D4 to clean LPs but it can not be used to clean 78 rpms because it contains alcohol). So if you use any record cleaning machine or solution specially formulated for cleaning 78 rpms, then please do it before listening to these records.

2. A sound clip from record is the best way to describe the condition of Indian records. I have cartridges that can play 78 rpms but i don't have any turntable that can play 78 rpms. If you want to listen a clip then all i can do - is record a clip at the speed of 45 rpm on my system (Techincs SL D30 turntable and Pioneer A-447 amplifier). It will give you an approximate idea about condition of record on sound basis. Please let me know if you want the same.

Payment And Shipping :

Payment by Paypal. Some other methods are also available. Please contact me if you are unable to use paypal.

Shipping for this record is $ 11 worldwide by registered airmail. It is a secure shipping method and signature of receiver is required. Please don't worry about the packing of 78 rpms. I have shipped 100s of 78 rpm records to NA/Europe/Asia/Australia. If you buy more than one 78 rpm record, then shipping is $ 4 extra per item. If you purchase multiple items and unable to see discounted shipping then please wait for invoice.

Full refund (including shipping) will be given against loss / damage / dissatisfaction with quality of record.

PLEASE NOTE : As per ebay rule, seller has to specify at least one shipping mode to US buyers for which charges are within ebay's permitted limit. So i have added surface shipping for USA buyers. It is $4 per 78 rpm record but it is highly discouraged due to long shipping time (3 to 6 months). Actual surface shipping is still higher but that way i will lose less money.

Delivery time by registered airmail takes 7 Days to 4 weeks in 95% cases. Normally 80 % foreign destined items reach within 14 days to respective countries. Shipping duration is not country dependent, for example sometimes items reach within 4 days to same country and sometimes they take up to 28 days to same country. However some countries have good shipping time than others. For USA and most of the european and asian countries, shipping time is 7 to 14 days in 80% cases and less than 20 days in 90% cases. But for countries like Italy / Brazil / Israel / Indonesia where custom procedure is slow, shipping time is 7 to 14 days in 50% cases, less than 20 days in 70% cases and less than 25 days in 95 % cases.
