About Buckingham Music, Inc.

Originally from London, England, Buckingham Music founder Peter Cutchey played sitar for over 29 years and was involved in the music business for 44 years. He played professionally live, was a session bassist and was instrumental in design and marketing with prominent musical companies.

Peter said "In 1967, I started to play Indian pieces on my bass, eventually realizing that I needed the right instrument in order to begin to properly express the feelings that were gently clamoring inside me. So in 1972 I sold my '62 Fender Jazz Bass, bought my first Sitar, and quickly realized that this ancient, instrument fascinated me beyond anything I had experienced before.

When I arrived in America I had no way of bringing my sitar with me as I had no case for it. I looked for a quality sitar at a reasonable price, stooging around music shops in several cities before eventually realizing that I was unlikely to find what I needed.
Thinking that perhaps people who wish to play Sitar were placed in the same predicament I had been, I formed a small business to attempt to satisfy this need.
Finding that many other instruments were in demand the range has now been extended to include those that you see on the sidebar."

"It is my intention to provide the best quality Indian Instruments at reasonable prices so everyone can afford them. No 'Tourist-type' items are offered here." , Peter Cutchey.

Buckingham Music, Inc. imports and provides musical instruments and accessories from India as well as creating original writings and on-line tutorials about Indian music and the instruments. We have over 330 pages here for you to explore. E-mail or phone us with your questions.

About tweaking: We inspect and tweak (adjust) every instrument that comes to us before selling it. We are one of the few who don't ship "boxes in and boxes out" or drop ship directly from an importer. All Indian instruments need inspecting/adjusting before shipping to work properly and be at their best. This is a little more expensive but we're quite sure it's needed as our customers have told us this and we haven't yet found one instrument in the lower grades that didn't need some work. See also Testimonials sent to us. A public comment from a very well-known figure: "I cannot understand how many instrument dealers can sell their instruments and not put any effort into tweaking the instruments to feel and sound their best."...
