Sitar: An Indian String Instrument
en
The sitar is a plucked stringed instrument, originating from the Indian subcontinent, used in Hindustani classical music. It is named after a Persian instrument called the setar (meaning 3 strings). The sitar derives its distinctive timbre and resonance from sympathetic strings, bridge design, a long hollow neck and a gourd-shaped resonance chamber.
