The term 'Lute-like Instrument' refers to three different instruments: the SITAR (5 letters), Mandolin (8 letters) and Rebec (5 letters). The SITAR is a plucked stringed instrument originating from India, typically having a long neck and a gourd-shaped resonator. The Mandolin is a small, stringed instrument with a fretted neck and a flat back, originating from Italy. The Rebec is a bowed stringed instrument that originated in Europe during the Middle Ages. All three instruments are similar in design and sound to the lute, hence the term 'Lute-like Instrument'.
