The Sitar is a renowned string instrument in Indian classical music, particularly in the Hindustani tradition. It features a long neck with 18-21 strings, including six or seven main playing strings and several sympathetic strings that resonate as it is played. The frets are movable, allowing for intricate tuning and playing of microtones, which are essential to Indian ragas. Traditionally made from wood with a gourd resonator, the Sitar is played using a metal plectrum, producing a rich, buzzing tone. It became internationally famous through musicians like Ravi Shankar, playing a significant role in introducing Indian music to the world.
