A sitar produces a unique sound that is created by its many strings being simutaniously strummed. The sound can be very high pitched and is usually "buzzy" or has a "springy" effect to it. This effect is called jiwari. They are many styles of tuning a sitar and alter its jiwari and each is slightly different. The buzzy effect of the many sympathetic or resonating strings seems as if it is background music to the more prominant playable strings that sound more like plucking a wire. This sound is very lush and warm. It does not sound like any Western stringed istrument.
