Product Info |
The sitar developed during the collapse of the Moghul empire (circa 1700). It reflected the culture of the times in that it showed both Indian and Persian characteristics. Sitar is perhaps the most well known of the Indian instruments. Sitar is a long necked instrument with an interesting construction. It has a varying number of strings but 17, is usual. It has three to four playing strings and three to four drone strings. The approach to tuning is somewhat similar to other Indian stringed instruments. These strings are plucked with a wire finger plectrum called mizrab. There are also a series of sympathetic strings lying under the frets. These strings are almost never played but they vibrate whenever the corresponding note is sounded. The frets are metal rods which have been bent into crescents.
The main resonator is usually made of a gourd and there is sometimes an additional resonator attached to the neck.
Material used: Wood, bones, gourd, steel coated brass.
