Associated with the exotic East, as much as with the Beatles and Rock-n-Roll, the sitar is a captivating instrument. Each sitar is hand crafted from Asian hardwoods and native gourds (expect colors to vary). The sitar is the most popular of all Indian instruments. It is indeed a most grand instrument. The sitar has a body made of a seasoned gourd and a long neck. There are usually seven main playing strings above the arched frets, and eleven sympathetic strings below the frets. These sympathetic strings give a magical shimmer to the melody when they resonate in tune with the main playing strings. There are two separate bridges on the sitar. A large bridge is for the main strings, while a smaller bridge is for the sympathetics. These special flat bridges, usually made of bone, are what give the sitar that exhilarating buzz.
