The instrument flourished under the Mughals, and it is 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.
Tuning depends on the sitarist's school or style, tradition and each artist's personal preference. The main playing string is almost invariably tuned a perfect fourth
above
the tonic, the second string being tuned to the tonic. The tonic in the Indian solfège system is referred to as
ṣaḍja
,
ṣaḍaj
, or the shortened form
sa
, or
khaṛaj
, a dialectal variant of
ṣaḍaj
, not as
vād
, and the perfect fifth to which one or more of the drones strings are tuned is referred to as
pañcam
, not
samvād
.
The sympathetic strings are tuned to the notes of the raga being played: although there is slight stylistic variance as to the order of these, typically they are tuned:
I Sa= D
VII Ni= C#
I Sa= D
II Re= E
III Ga= F#
IV Ma= G
V Pa= A
VI Dha= B
I Sa= D
II Re= E
III Ga= F#
(the last three in the upper octave). The player should re-tune for each raga. Strings are tuned by tuning pegs, and the main playing strings can be fine-tuned by sliding a bead threaded on each string just below the bridge.
