1On a sitar, the large dried-gourd resonating chamber at the lower end is called the:
A.Tumba
B.Syahi
C.Mizrab
D.Bayan
Explanation: The tumba is the sitar’s principal gourd resonator that amplifies string vibration. Together with the wooden face (tabli), it shapes the instrument’s tone.
2The long wooden neck or fingerboard of the sitar is traditionally called the:
A.Dand (dandi)
B.Khali
C.Gat
D.Theka
Explanation: The dand (also spelled dandi) is the long fretted neck/fingerboard on which frets are tied and along which the left hand stops the melody string.
3What is a mizrab on the sitar?
A.A wire plectrum worn on a right-hand finger to pluck the strings
B.A sympathetic string running under the frets only
C.The black paste on a tabla head
D.A tala cycle of sixteen matras
Explanation: The mizrab is a metal finger-plectrum (usually on the index finger of the right hand) used to strike the main playing strings and chikari in sitar technique.
4Sympathetic strings on a sitar that vibrate in response to the main melody and enrich resonance are called:
A.Syahi strings
B.Only tabla bayan strings
C.Tarab (taraf) strings
D.Matra strings
Explanation: Tarab (also taraf/tarabdar strings) are under-strings that resonate sympathetically with fretted notes, adding the characteristic shimmer of the sitar.
5The high drone/rhythm strings commonly struck for pulse and jhala colour on the sitar are the:
A.Tabla dayan strings
B.Chikari strings
C.Only the lowest kharaj string without any other role
D.Western violin E-string only by definition
Explanation: Chikari strings are high, open strings tuned to the tonic (and often related pitches) and are struck for rhythmic punctuation, especially in jhala.
6Movable metal frets on the sitar dand, traditionally tied with thread so pitch can be adjusted, are called:
A.Sam
B.Parda (frets)
C.Bol
D.Theka
Explanation: Sitar frets (parda) are metal rods or bars tied to the neck so they can be shifted slightly for fine tuning and different scale needs—unlike fixed frets on a guitar.
7The main melody string most frequently fretted and plucked on the sitar is commonly called the:
A.Only the tarab set with no fretting
B.Dhaivati only as a permanent name of every string
C.Baaj (baj / baaj ki taar)
D.Khali string
Explanation: The primary playing string—baaj or baaj ki taar—carries most of the melodic work. Players spend the large majority of performance time on this string.
8The wooden face covering the open side of the tumba, on which the main bridge rests, is the:
A.Aroha
B.Tabli
C.Pakad
D.Mizrab
Explanation: The tabli is the flat wooden soundboard of the gourd body. Bridge placement and jawari shaping on the tabli strongly affect tone.
9The carved wooden joint that connects the sitar’s dand (neck) to the tumba (gourd) is known as the:
A.Gulu (gullu)
B.Vadi
C.Nyasa
D.Tala
Explanation: The gulu (gullu) is the connecting block between neck and resonator. Structural integrity and alignment of frets depend on a sound gulu joint.
10Tuning pegs on the sitar used to raise or lower string pitch are called:
A.Kunti (khunti / pegs)
B.Meend
C.Andolan
D.Gamak
Explanation: Kunti (khunti) are the wooden tuning pegs for main and, on the side of the neck, often for tarab strings. Players fine-tune with pegs and sometimes beads/fine-tuners.
