Which is the oldest plucked string instrument in the world
The oldest plucked string instrument in the world is the harp.
The oldest harp found archaeologically so far was unearthed in a burial pit in ancient Mesopotamia in West Asia. Different scholars have not been consistent in estimating the time of the age in which it was found.
Baidu Encyclopedia uses the term 3000 to 4000 BC.
Wikipedia (Chinese entry) uses the term 3500 BC.
Wikipedia (English entry) uses the term 3000 BC.
Either way, the harp has been around for at least 5,000 years.
