A sitar is an Indian stringed instrument, of
the lute family. It has a pear-shaped body
and long neck supported by an additional
gourd resonator at the opposite end. A
principal solo instrument, it has seven metal
strings extending over movable frets and two
concealed strings that provide a continuous
drone. It is also played with a plectrum.
