| Ektara |  | Ektara (also called iktar, ektar or gopichand) is a one string instrument used in Bangladesh and India, and Pakistan. In origin the ektara was a regular string instrument of wandering bards and minstrels from India and is plucked with one finger. The ektara usually has a stretched single string, an animal skin over a head (made of dried pumpkin/gourd, wood or coconut) and pole neck or split bamboo cane neck. Pressing the two halves of the neck together changes the pitch, creating an unusual sound. There are commonly three sizes: soprano, tenor and bass. The smallest size gives the highest pitch. |
