The
sitar (Punjabi: ਸਿਤਾਰ,)
is a plucked stringed instrument.
The
word sitar is derived from the Persian word sehtar, meaning
“three-stringed.”
Sitar
has a varying number of strings from 17 to 23. It has three to four playing
strings and three to four drone strings. The approach to tuning is somewhat
like 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
played strings run to tuning pegs on or near the head of the instrument, while
the sympathetic strings, which are a variety of different lengths, pass through
small holes in the fretboard to engage with the smaller tuning pegs that run
down the instrument's neck.
It
derives its distinctive timbre and resonance from sympathetic strings, bridge
design, a long hollow neck and a gourd-shaped resonance chamber. In appearance,
the sitar is like the tanpura, except that it has frets.
It
is 50-Inch-long and 4 Inch in wide. It tumba length is 12 Inche and 14 inch in
wide. It approx. weight is 2.670 kg.
The
sitar derives its resonance from sympathetic strings, a long hollow neck and a
gourd or Flat Wooden resonating chamber.
Sitar
is constructed of wood Teak, Mahogany or Tun, Gourd, Metal and Bone.
Its
strings are metal; there are usually five melody strings, one or two drone
strings used to accentuate the rhythm or pulse, and as many as 13 sympathetic
strings beneath the frets in the
neck
that are tuned to the notes of the raga (melodic framework of the performance).
The convex metal frets are tied along the neck, which enables them to be moved
as needed.
The
sitar often has a resonating gourd under the pegbox end of the neck; this
balances the weight of the instrument and helps support it when it is not being
played.
Musicians
hold the sitar at a 45° angle on their laps while seated. They pluck the
strings with a wire plectrum worn on the right forefinger while the left hand
manipulates the strings with subtle pressure on or between the frets and with
sideways pulls of the strings.
