s
itar is a
plucked stringed instrument
used mainly in Indian classical music .M
odern sitar evolved in 18th century India. It derives its resonance from
sympathetic strings
, a long hollow neck and a
gourd
resonating
chamber.
The sitar's curved
frets
are movable, allowing fine tuning, and raised so that
sympathetic strings
(
tarb
, also known as "taarif" or "tarafdaar") can run underneath them. A sitar can have 21, 22, or 23 strings, among them six or seven played strings which run over the frets: the
Gandhaar-pancham
sitar.
The instrument has two
bridges
; the large bridge (
badaa goraa
) for the playing and drone strings and the small bridge (
chota goraa
) for the sympathetic strings. Its timbre results from the way the strings interact with the wide, sloping bridge. As a string reverberates its length changes slightly as its edge touches the bridge, promoting the creation of
overtones
and giving the sound its distinctive tone. The maintenance of this specific tone by shaping the bridge is called
jawari
. Many musicians rely on instrument makers to adjust this.
Materials used in construction include
teak wood
or
tun
wood (
Cedrela tuna
), which is a variation of mahogany, for the neck and faceplate (tabli), and
gourds
for the
kaddu
(the main resonating chamber). The instrument's bridges are made of deer horn, ebony, or very occasionally from camel bone. Synthetic material is now common as well. The sitar may have a secondary
resonator
, the
tumbaa
, near the top of its hollow neck.
