Sitar is perhaps the most well known of the In­dian in­stru­ments.  Artists such as Ravi Shankar have pop­ularised this instrument around the world.

Sitar is used in a variety of genre.  It is played in north In­dian classical music (Hindustani Sangeet), film music, and western fusion music.  It is not com­monly found in south In­dian classical performances or folk music.

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.
