A Raga Instrument is a type of stringed instrument used in Indian classical music. The most common example of this type of instrument is the SITAR, which has five letters. The SITAR is a long-necked lute with a fretted fingerboard and a gourd resonator. It is typically played with a pick and has sympathetic strings that vibrate along with the main strings. The SITAR is used to create complex melodies and rhythms, and is an integral part of Indian classical music.
