Have you ever heard a sitar played?

Not many American have even seen one much less heard one. I admit even I had never seen one until just last year. I went to a special performance with a friend. The sound is intriguing and different from any instrument I had ever heard. In a way it reminded me of a sound like a strangely crossed harpsichord banjo, and guitar. I had never heard the like. If you ever get the chance I recommend you listen to one being played at least once.
