 What is a Santur? The
<a href="https://theorientvalley.com/santoor">santur</a> is a multi-stringed, trapezoid-shaped instrument that holds a
significant place in traditional Iranian music. The word "santur"
comes from the Persian word "santūr," which means "a hundred
strings." This name reflects the instrument's many strings. Although the
santur is a percussion instrument, it is also classified as a string
instrument. The
body of the santur is usually made from hard woods like walnut, mahogany,
maple, or rosewood. The size and shape of the instrument can vary depending on
the type of wood used. The strings are generally made of steel, but some
santurs use bronze or brass strings. The strings are stretched parallel to the
front surface of the santur and rest on bridges at a certain height. Each
bridge is assigned to a specific group of strings on the santur, and these
groups represent specific notes. Structure and Notes of the Santur The
santur typically consists of 18 main bridges and between 72 to 160 strings
stretched across these bridges. In an Iranian santur, each bridge is arranged
to have four strings. The <a href="https://theorientvalley.com/santoor-1">strings</a> are generally divided into two main groups:
right and left strings. Each string group represents a specific octave or set
of notes. The
strings on the right side of the santur (often referred to as white strings)
are thinner and produce higher notes, while the strings on the left side (often
referred to as yellow or bronze strings) are thicker and produce lower notes.
Below are the notes for each string group in the standard tuning of the Iranian
santur: Right-Side Strings (White Strings): Top
of the Range (First Four Bridges on the Left Side): &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; G Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C Octave Middle
of the Range (Middle Four Bridges): &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; E Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; F Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; G Octave Bottom
of the Range (First Four Bridges on the Right Side): &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D Octave Left-Side Strings (Yellow/Bronze Strings): Top
of the Range (First Four Bridges on the Left Side): &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; G Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C Octave Middle
of the Range (Middle Four Bridges): &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; E Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; F Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; G Octave Bottom
of the Range (First Four Bridges on the Right Side): &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; B Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; C Octave &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; D Octave These
notes may vary depending on the exact tuning of the santur and the type of
music being played. How to Tune a Santur? Tuning
a santur depends on the instrument's structure and the modal structure of the
music to be played. The tuning process requires attention and patience. The
tuning of a santur is done by adjusting the tension of the strings. Here are
the detailed tuning steps: Required Equipment and Preparation: Tuning
Fork or Digital Tuner: Used to determine the correct notes. <a href="https://theorientvalley.com/tuning-wrench-key-for-santoor-twksn01">Tuning
Key</a> (Tuning Hammer): Used to turn the pins to which the strings are attached
and adjust the tension of the strings. A
Quiet Environment: Preferably a quiet place to hear the correct tones. Tuning Steps: Determining
the Starting Note: When
starting the tuning process, the "G" or "C" note is usually
taken as a reference. This note will serve as the fundamental reference point
for the santur. Use
a tuning fork or digital tuner to correctly identify this note. Tuning the String Groups: Start
by tuning the white strings on the right side of the santur. Take the first
pair of strings and use the tuning key to turn the corresponding pins until you
find the correct note with the help of a tuner or tuning fork. Each
pair of strings should be tuned to the same note. If "G" is chosen
for a pair of strings, both strings should give the "G" note. After
tuning the right-side strings, tune the left-side strings (yellow/bronze
strings) similarly to a specific note. Checking the Harmony Between String Groups: After
all the strings are tuned, check the harmony between the right and left
strings. This is important to ensure that the santur is properly tuned. Play
the instrument to ensure that each string group is in harmony with each other. Final Adjustments and Check: Once
the tuning process is complete, check the entire instrument again. If there is
any mismatch or defect in any string, retune those strings. After
tuning, test your santur by playing a piece of music to ensure the chords work
properly. For
