Sitars
The sitar
(Hindi/Sanskrit: सितार, Urdu: ستار) is a plucked stringed instrument.
It uses sympathetic strings along with a long hollow neck and a gourd
resonating chamber to produce a very rich sound with complex harmonic
resonance. Predominantly used in Hindustani classical, sitar has been
ubiquitous in Hindustani classical music since the Middle Ages. This
instrument is used throughout the Indian subcontinent.
