  1. Hindustani classical music employs various instruments, including the tanpura (drone instrument), sitar (string instrument played with a plectrum), sarod (fretless lute), sarangi (bowed string instrument) and santoor (hammered dulcimer). Percussion instruments like tabla and pakhawaj create intricate rhythmic cycles (tala). The sitar and sarod are famous for their improvisational capabilities, while the tabla provides essential rhythmic support. These instruments together define the characteristic sound of Hindustani classical music.
