Introduction to the Sitar: Origins and Evolution
The sitar is a plucked string instrument that originated from the Indian subcontinent and has been central to Indian classical music since the 18th century. The sitar's name derives from the Persian 'sehtar', meaning three strings, though the modern sitar typically has 18-21 strings. It gained international popularity through virtuosos like Ravi Shankar, influencing Western music in the 1960s. The instrument is known for its resonant sound, created by its sympathetic strings and its distinct gourd shape, which acts as a resonator.
