Indian lute (5)

I believe the answer is:

sitar

'indian lute' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for sitar that I've seen before include "Guitar-like instrument" , "Astir with Indian long-necked lute" , "Long-necked musical instrument of India" , "Indian string instrument" , "instrument out east" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun, the Sydney Morning Herald, the LA Times, the King Feature Syndicate and The Mirror.
