= Sympathetic string
{wiki=Sympathetic_string}
A sympathetic string, often found in certain musical instruments, refers to a string that is not directly played or struck but vibrates in response to the vibrations of other strings. This phenomenon enhances the resonance and richness of the sound produced by the instrument. Sympathetic strings are commonly associated with instruments such as the **sitar**, which has additional strings that run beneath the main playing strings.
