George Harrison<\/strong>\u2019s first sitar sold for more than expected at a recent auction.<\/span><\/p>\n

The instrument, which The Beatles <\/strong>member used during the recording sessions for \u201cNorwegian Wood,\u201d sold for $66,993 at <\/span>Nate D. Sanders Auctions<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, well above the minimum bid of $25,000.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Harrison purchased the sitar in 1965 at Indiacraft on Oxford Street in London. It would\u00a0go on to inspire\u00a0his further involvement, and lifelong passion, for Indian music, culture and the Hindu religion. In 1966 he became the first Beatle to travel to India, where he would study the sitar under musician Ravi Shankar<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nate D. Sanders Auctions was also\u00a0auctioning off\u00a0a\u00a0Keith Richards<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>custom-made guitar<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0<\/strong>which\u00a0was used during the Rolling Stones<\/strong>‘\u00a0<\/span>Some Girls\u00a0<\/span><\/em>recording sessions, tour and music video, although it apparently failed to\u00a0bring in\u00a0its $400,000 minimum asking price. It is still available, though, on an offer basis.<\/span><\/p>\n
