Hello !
Rikse mia matia:
"The modern sitar is still in evolution, its size, pitch, number of strings, number of frets and the materials from which it is made are still being experimented with. Since the turn of the century the sitar has become larger, sympathetic strings have been added, the number of frets has increased (from just enough for a septatonic scale to 2 frets shy of a chromatic scale). In general the sitar has from 17 to 20 frets, 2 to 4 main playing strings, 11 to 14 sympathetic strings, 3 to 4 chikari strings (rhythm drone strings, similar to the 5th string on a 5 string banjo) and ranges in length from 3 to 4 feet."
