<p><b>Sympathetic strings</b> or <b>resonance strings</b> are auxiliary strings found on many <a href="Music_of_India" title="Music of India">Indian</a> musical instruments, as well as some Western <a href="Baroque_music" title="Baroque music">Baroque</a> instruments and a variety of folk instruments.
</p><p>They are typically not played directly by the performer (except occasionally as an effect), only indirectly through the <a href="Tone_(musical_instrument)" title="Tone (musical instrument)">tones</a> that are played on the main strings, based on the principle of <a href="Sympathetic_resonance" title="Sympathetic resonance">sympathetic resonance</a>.
</p><p>The resonance is most often heard when the <a href="Fundamental_frequency" title="Fundamental frequency">fundamental frequency</a> of the string is in unison or an <a href="Octave" title="Octave">octave</a> lower or higher than the catalyst note, although it can occur for other <a href="Interval_(music)" title="Interval (music)">intervals</a>, such as a <a href="Perfect_fifth" title="Perfect fifth">fifth</a>, with less effect.

<p>Sympathetic strings are used to enhance the sound of an instrument. Some instruments have only a few sympathetic strings such as the <a href="Hardanger_fiddle" title="Hardanger fiddle">Hardanger fiddle</a> (pictured above right). Other instruments which have more include the <a href="Sitar" title="Sitar">sitar</a> with 11-13 sympathetic strings and <a href="Sarod" title="Sarod">sarod</a> with 15 sympathetic strings, and the <a href="Sarangi" title="Sarangi">sarangi</a>, which has a total of 37 sympathetics.
</p><p>In <a href="Classical_music" title="Classical music">Western music</a>, some members of the <a href="Viola" title="Viola">viola</a> family appeared in the middle of the 17th century that were fitted with an extra choir of thin wire strings running through a hollow chamber through the <a href="Neck_(music)" title="Neck (music)">neck</a> of the instrument, the head of which was then elongated to accommodate as many extra tuning pegs as necessary. These were generally called <a href="Viola_d'amore" title="Viola d'amore">viola d'amore</a>; another historical example is the <a href="Baryton" title="Baryton">baryton</a>, for which <a href="Joseph_Haydn" title="Joseph Haydn">Haydn</a> wrote many <a href="Ternary_form" title="Ternary form">trios</a>.
</p><p>Other instruments such as the <a href="Harp" title="Harp">harp</a>, <a href="Lute" title="Lute">lute</a>, <a href="Guitar" title="Guitar">guitar</a>, <a href="Harpsichord" title="Harpsichord">harpsichord</a>, and <a href="Piano" title="Piano">piano</a> do not have additional strings, but make use of the effect by allowing their playing strings to vibrate sympathetically when they are not being played directly. In <a href="Keyboard_instrument" title="Keyboard instrument">keyboard instruments</a> like the piano, the string dampers can be raised to produce this effect.
</p><p>The <a href="Guitar" title="Guitar">guitar</a> is normally unable to produce effective sympathetic string resonance for tones other than E (resonance from the 6th and 5th strings, tuned to E and A, respectively), B (from the 6th string), D (from the 4th string), and A (from the 5th and 4th strings). The treble strings are negligible in practice, as they are almost constantly being fingered.
</p><p>However, the <a href="Ten-string_guitar#Yepes'_ten-string_guitar" title="Ten-string guitar">ten-string guitar</a> invented in 1963 by <a href="Narciso_Yepes" title="Narciso Yepes">Narciso Yepes</a>, adds four strings tuned to C, A<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-sharp">♯</span></span>, G<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-sharp">♯</span></span>, F<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-sharp">♯</span></span>, which resolves the imbalance of resonance on the guitar. By adding the abovementioned resonances and, of course, their fifths (the fifth being a strong <a href="Resonant_frequency" class="mw-redirect" title="Resonant frequency">resonant frequency</a>)—that is to say, G, F, D<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-sharp">♯</span></span>, C<span class="music-symbol" style="font-family: Arial Unicode MS, Lucida Sans Unicode;"><span class="music-sharp">♯</span></span>—the guitar's strings now resonate more equally with all 12 notes of the <a href="Chromatic" class="mw-redirect" title="Chromatic">chromatic</a> scale, bringing the guitar's sound closer to the consistency and sustainability of the <a href="Harpsichord" title="Harpsichord">harpsichord</a> and <a href="Piano" title="Piano">piano</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

<p>Strings or parts of strings may resonate at their <a href="Fundamental_frequency" title="Fundamental frequency">fundamental</a> or <a href="Harmonic" title="Harmonic">harmonic</a> frequencies when other strings are sounded. In general, non-played strings respond in sympathy to other strings being played. Two tones of the same <a href="Pitch_(music)" title="Pitch (music)">pitch</a> will give maximum sympathetic resonance as all harmonics of both strings will overlap. Other harmonic combinations will cause sympathetic resonance at the fifth, fourth and major third.
</p><p>For example, an A string at 440 Hz will cause an E string at 330 Hz to resonate, because they share an <a href="Overtone" title="Overtone">overtone</a> of 1320 Hz (3 x 440 = 4 x 330 = 1320; third overtone of A and fourth overtone of E).
</p>
<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Tuning">Tuning</h3></div>
<p>The musician retunes the sympathetic strings for each <a href="Musical_mode" class="mw-redirect" title="Musical mode">mode</a> or <a href="Raga" title="Raga">raga</a>, so that when the corresponding note (or one an octave below it) is played on the main strings of the instrument, the sympathetic strings (called <i>tarabs</i> in <a href="Music_of_India" title="Music of India">Indian music</a>) will vibrate in response, providing a lingering halo of sound.
