He brought the Sitar to the fore for the Western world of music,
finding the Indian instrument which could be very fluent and
effortless to play.

We -- myself and my friend Rasik Patel -- remembered George very
frequently. Rasik recalls that, when visiting to perform in Fuji
Islands, Harrison found himself without the Sitar. So, he bought one
from Rasik, who was in Fuji then, and played it on the stage the same
evening.

Haresh.
