Anotations

Scope note:

Plucked lutelike chordophones of the northern Indian subcontinent with four or five melody strings, three to six drone strings, and 11 to 16 sympathetic strings, all of metal, a broad, unfretted metal-covered neck, and a bowl-shaped skin-covered soundbox; often a small second resonator of metal, wood, or gourd is fixed behind the pegbox. They are played with a triangular wood plectrum.
