World Instruments

World Instruments provide the foundations of music for many cultures around the world. Most commonly associated with non-western cultures, world instruments are a key part of traditional Indian, African, Asian and Eastern European music.

The Sitar is possibly the most iconic world instrument of all which flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries. Ravi Shankar famously integrated the Sitar with popular, western music in the 60s through his work with the Beatles.
