Ali Akbar Khan
The sitar is a long-necked lute with frets, and has four melody strings, two rhythm strings and some resonance strings. The lesser known sarod – a lute without frets – is smaller than the sitar and has a very different sound than the sitar. The sarod does have, just like the sitar, four melody strings, two rhythm strings and a large number of resonance strings.
