- Sitar abstract "The sitar English pronunciation: /ˈsɪtɑr/ or /sɪˈtɑr/ is a plucked stringed instrument used mainly in Hindustani music and Indian classical music. The instrument is believed to have been derived from the veena, an ancient Indian instrument, which was modified by a Mughal court musician to conform with the tastes of his Mughal patrons and named after a Persian instrument called the setar (meaning three strings). The sitar flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries and arrived at its present form in 18th century India. It derives its distinctive timbre and resonance from sympathetic strings, bridge design, a long hollow neck and a gourd resonating chamber. In appearance, the sitar is similar to the tanpura, except that it has frets. The body of a sitar is more or less a spherical gourd at the lower end.Used widely throughout the Indian subcontinent, the instrument became popularly known in the wider world through the work of Ravi Shankar, beginning in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The sitar saw use in Western popular music after the Beatles featured the sitar in their compositions "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)", "Within You Without You" and "Love You To". Further popularising the instrument and the genre among Western audiences, George Harrison began receiving sitar tuition from Shankar in 1966. Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones played a sitar on his group's 1966 hit "Paint It Black", marking a trend for using the instrument in pop songs.".
