Different regional types have varying numbers of frets and melody and drone strings. Medieval models had a single string supported by a rectangular bridge with a convex upper surface, which caused a buzzing effect when the string vibrated. The term is also used generically in India and other countries of southern Asia for chordophones of all kinds. ]]></note></mads>
