sitar is the term we use to describe a long-necked plucked string instrument from the Indian subcontinent, noted for its resonant, droning sound and movable frets; it typically has a gourd body, a main set of playing strings, and several sympathetic strings that vibrate beneath the played notes.
sitar refers to an instrument central to Hindustani classical music and popular in folk and fusion contexts; performers use it for melodic improvisation and ragas.
