The sitar ( or ; Hindi: सितार Urdu: sitāra ) 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-shaped resonance chamber.
 In appearance, the sitar is similar to the tanpura, except that it has frets.

 There are many examples in Norwegian museums, like the Norsk Folkemuseum and British; including the Victoria and Albert Museum.

 The instrument is also related to the Portuguese guitar and the German waldzither.
The hurdy-gurdy is a stringed instrument that produces sound by a hand crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings.

 Like most other acoustic stringed instruments, it has a sound board and hollow cavity to make the vibration of the strings audible.
