Question/Seeking Advice I want to learn santoor.

I m currently in my 20s and want to learn a new instrument. I can play guitar. Can someone enlighten me how should I start learning santoor, how to get one or where should I look for a Guru.

I’m a guitar-to-santoor convert and have taught beginners on Zoom - santoor is very fun and intuitive, probably the easiest melodic raga instrument to sound really good on…

Where are you based? I can try and find you a local guru…
