Before the sitar emerged, several stringed instruments contributed to its development, notably the veena and the rabab. The veena, with its long neck and resonating body, is an ancient instrument in Indian Classical Music. The rabab, originating from Central Asia, influenced the sitar's construction and playing technique with its frets and melodic capabilities. Together, these instruments laid the groundwork for the sitar's unique sound and design.
