The sitar is a plucked stringed instrument used mainly in Indian classical music. It is used in mainly in India and to some extent in neighbouring countries. It is a founded in ancient Iran. The name "Sitar" in Persian means "Sè" (Three) and "Tār" (String Pairs) hence it has the name "Sitar" although a typical sitar used in India has 20-25 strings. It derives its resonance from sympathetic strings, a long hollow neck and a gourd resonating chamber.
