Originating from the Persian setar, the sitar became popularised in Hindustani classical music during Mughal times. Made from a long neck and resonating gourd with moveable bridges and multiple metal strings, the sitar requires immense training to master its techniques. The most famous sitar player is Ravi Shankar, who introduced the sitar to worldwide audiences. To play the sitar, the musician must learn complex fingering patterns called shikaris to produce melodic notes while using left-hand techniques like meend and kan to slide between frets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Features of the Sitar:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has up to 20 movable bridges under the strings allowing notes to be sharpened or flattened.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Requires extensive training under a guru for perfect intonation and ornamentation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Made from wood such as a tun, rosewood or sheesham with a gourd resonator.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.paisawapas.com\/blog\/top-7-best-harmonium-brands-in-india\/\">Also Read: Top 7 Best Harmonium Brands In India 2024 | Price<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Sarod_%E2%80%93_Best_musical_instruments\"><\/span><b>2.

Originating from Persia as the Iranian Setar, the Sarod took on a new identity in Hindustani classical music. Distinguished by its short unfretted neck and multiple resonating strings, the Sarod has a deep, resonant tone. Legendary Sarod mastery was achieved by Baba Allauddin Khan and his sons like Ali Akbar Khan who greatly expanded the instrument&#8217;s repertoire. Playing the Sarod calls for fingering techniques like meend and kan and complex rhythmic bol and improvisational elements in raga depictions.
