Many folk music made with these types of instrument: drone a continuous sound on one or more fixed pitches when the melody is played. Plays as a foundation for the melody: sitar a long-necked string instrument with a wide fingerboard with movable frets, a gourd-shaped body and resonator, 7 principal strings (4 melody and 3 drones) and. This instrument is an example of an appalachian dulcimer: sympathetic string a string that is not normally played upon directly but that is set in motion by the acoustical phenomenon of resonance. Added later on in the 20th century. Digitally and synthetically produced or made my sting instruments with electronic modifications. Magnetic tape was first used to produced and synthetic sound digitally.
