very nice attempt.
keep the ideas rolling guys.
Meend implementation, zamzam, kana etc....a lot has to be done in order to implement all these.
Also, I did not like the hard hammering style of pressing the frets. ( Are there are any frets???)

Of course it can have other lengths - it's obvious, and we all know about it. But brianmayrules asked, how it can play chords - because to play a chord you need at least three strings, not one, like at this movie. And I'm also sorry for my english :P

pretty cool. would be nice if you put this in western 12 tone system. There is this spiritual undertone to sitar playing that this machine can't capture. Also the timbre is much closer to that of a guitar.
