India. The Sitar gives off a very unique and recognizable sound. Many bands from the 60'
s used this, such as the Beatles (famously) and the Rolling Stones. It has 7 main strings, and 11-
13 sympathetic (smaller) strings, which reside under the heavier 7. It is made of wood and gourd (tomba), and often is highly decorated with such things as carvings and
