Définition

  • A single or double stretched string is fixed at one end to a handle. At the other end it is attached to a membrane covering a hole cut out of the base of a resonator, resembling a drum. The string bearing handle and the resonator are united by the string so that they cannot be separated without destroying the instrument. The plane of the string lies at right angles to the membrane. By adjusting the position of the handle, the player braces the loose string to alter its tension and change its pitch. India (anandalahari). (en)
