Traditionally, it features a wooden frame with a curved pillar, often adorned with intricate carvings or engravings, and a soundbox made of wood or sometimes a combination of wood and metal. The strings, which are typically made of gut or nylon, are plucked by the player's fingers or using small finger-picking devices called plectrums.
