- In traditional Japanese music, sawari is the name of a buzzy sound quality, or timbre, that is often found in and/or expected of certain traditional stringed instruments. In the shamisen, for example, the sound quality is produced by the first, or lowest string, which is purposely laid lower than the rest of the strings at the nut of the instrument. This placement of the string allows the string not only to have a characteristic buzzy timbre, but it also allows it to resonate sympathetically when the other strings are plucked. In modern versions of the instrument, the neck of the shamisen is equipped with an adjustment device that allows the player to raise or lower the 1st string at will, thereby adjusting the quality of the "sawari." The device itself is often called "sawari" by shamisen players and makers. The biwa, particularly the satsuma biwa is another Japanese instrument which is known for its sawari. The make of the instrument is such that the strings are stopped by pulling them between frets that are raised centimeters from the neck of the instrument, allowing the player to create the desired sawari effect at each fret. Sawari was first found in the biwa, and this quality was a desirable trait that biwa players wanted to reproduce in the shamisen. Thus, players began to use oversized plectrums for the shamisen instead of the fingers, and the 1st string was purposely laid lower at the nut of the instrument so that it purposely vibrated against the wood of the instrument, producing the desired buzzing sound quality. Japanese composer Toru Takemitsu has written that the term sawari may signify both "to touch" and "obstacle," and suggests that the sawari may be taken as "an intentional inconvenience that creates a part of the expressiveness of the sound."

- さわりとは、楽器の音色の名前。噪音の一種。音色は楽器によって異なる。 例えば三味線では、最も低い弦の位置を工夫することで弦に独特のビビリ音が得られるだけでなく、他の弦を弾いたときに同調して共鳴する。この音を「さわり」と呼ぶ。 三味線の「さわり」は琵琶を模したと言われている。琵琶、特に薩摩琵琶は、さわり音が強く響くことで知られている。琵琶の首から1センチ上がったフレットの間で弦を引っ張ることで弦を止めており、奏者は各フレットで希望のさわり効果を作り出すことができる。日本での「さわり」は琵琶で最初に発見されたという説と、インドのヴィーナ（Veena）のJavariが起源だという説がある。 作曲家の武満徹は、「さわり」という用語は「触れる」と「差し障り」の両方を意味する可能性があると書いている。 (ja)
