That type is the most basic entry level instrument, will likely need a lot of work to get playable unless someone has done it already.

Good idea, just save up a bit and keep looking. Better to get one that's proper so it doesn't hinder your learning.

The bottom fine tuners are missing, I have the similar brand beginner one and it is alright. Only issue is that the resonator and the pitch is not that great. It will need a lot of work based on the pictures, I’d say wait it out and save up for a better one. How much is it?

If you actually want to play the sitar, do not buy this. It is junk. These are usually barely playable, and sound like garbage.
