The name comes from sat tär, meaning "seven strings" in Hindi. The sitar has 6 or 7 played strings that are plucked with a plectrum called a mizraab in addition to a much greater number of resonance strings which run beneath the instrument's frets. The tabla is a pair of single-headed hand drums from the Indian subcontinent. The small, conical righthand drum is called the dayan and is used to created treble or tonal sounds. The larger, kettledrum-like lefthand drum is called the baya and is used for producing bass. The tabla owes its unique sound to the coat of syahi "tuning paste" applied to specific areas on the skin of each drum. *Date listed refers to date of performance.
