What is the asian instrument (i think it's the lyre) that you hear plinking in a dramatic scene of a movie?

Question

and how can i make one?

Answer 1

The three instruments generally used are: sitar, vina, tambhora. There are three basic types of vina, and all sound different. One other instrument used is a santor. All can be bought in this country at a inflated price. Making one is not so easy. Take care. GOURANGA GOURANGA GOURANGA
