The sitar is a plucked stringed instrument predominantly used in Hindustani classical music . It derives its resonance from sympathetic strings, a long hollow neck and a gourd resonating chamber. It became famous particularly after George Harrison of The Beatles took lessons from Shankar and Shambhu Das[1] and played sitar in songs including \"Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)\". Shortly after, The Rolling Stones used a sitar in \"Paint It Black\" and a brief fad began for using the instrument in pop songs. The instrument has two bridges; the large bridge (badaa goraa) for the playing and drone strings and the small bridge (chota goraa) for the sympathetic strings. Its timbre results from the way the strings interact with the wide, sloping bridge. Materials used in construction include teak wood or tun wood (Cedrela tuna), which is a variation of mahogany, for the neck and faceplate (tabli), and gourds for the kaddu. Tuning depends on the sitarist\&#**9;s school or style, tradition and each artist\&#**9;s personal preference. The instrument is balanced between the player\&#**9;s left foot and right knee. The hands move freely without having to carry any of the instrument\&#**9;s weight. The player plucks the string using a metallic pick or plectrum called a mizraab.
