No. Six strings are challenging enough when you have ten thumbs.
Learn the harmonica and be the envy of your neighbours.
Are there any specifically Estonian instruments?
Nah, only the zither I may say, but it's shared with Finns and else
so I wouldn't call it an Estonian pride.

1. Buy a cheap one from eBay - e.g. Item#200038553514
When you're bored after 2 months you won't have wasted too much money.
2. Spend the time waiting for your sitar to arrive by looking at photos of Mr Sharma, proprietor of Radha Krishna Sharma & Co.

I have a few questions...
1. An online shop you could recommend.
2. A method to learn to play it.
3. Spare and maintenance stuff I should bare in mind.
4. Anything else you consider worth knowing.
Thanks!

I think the main challenge if you'd try to learn the sitar would be that you would have to learn a lot about Indian music. You would have to get familiar with the scales, rhythms, harmonies etc., which are completely different from Western music. Unless you have grown up with Indian music, this won't come intuitively. Music is sometimes called a universal language, but that isn't really true. Indian music is a different language than Western music, and if you haven't grown up with it or studied it, it may sound nice, but you won't really understand it. I know I don't.
