Bard recall
The sitar has an extremely long, flat, fretted neck that joins at one end with a large, gourd-based sound box. Five strings course down the neck along finely-carved frets to an ornamental gourd resonator, meant to keep the sitar level when placed upon the ground.
Pi Sitar
The pi sitar is a smaller version of its cousin, the sitar, but the characteristic long neck and gourd-based soundbox show it to be the larger instrument's twin in all but size.
