a stringed instrument of the Indian origin with a round body, long neck and two sets of metal strings that are plucked to make sound
A sitar is a traditional stringed instrument from India, commonly used in classical Indian music. It has a long, hollow neck and a large, rounded body. The sitar typically has six or seven main strings used for playing melodies and several additional strings that resonate and create a fuller sound. It is played by plucking the strings with a plectrum called a "mizrab," and the player presses the strings against moveable frets to change the pitch. The sitar is known for its distinctive, twangy sound and its ability to produce intricate melodies and rhythms, making it a key instrument in Indian classical music.
