The Uniqueness of the Sitar Amir Khusrav (c. 1253-1325) is thought to have invented the sitar. This instrument is played with a plectrum on four of its six or seven strings. The right index finger is responsible for wearing this wire plectrum. The construction of the instrument is such that an additional eleven to nineteen sympathetic strings are fitted in place on a separate bridge. In addition, the sitar has movable frets. The most common type of sitar is the tarafdar sitar, also known as a concert sitar. This wood instrument comes in either a double-gourd or a single-gourd model. A bass sitar is known as a surbahar. The
legend associated with this instrument is Ravi Shankar.
