Oud: Among the most beloved Turkish instruments, the Baglama and Oud have been
integral to both classical and folk music traditions. The Baglama, a wooden
stringed instrument with a range of about two octaves, is played with a
plectrum known as "tezene". It holds a significant place in Turkish
folk music, resonating with the ancestral Kopuz in both playing style and form.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Kanun: The
Kanun is a distinctive instrument in Turkish classical music, known for its
bright timbre and extensive pitch range. Essential in Middle Eastern orchestras
and particularly prominent in Turkey, the Kanun boasts a vocal range spanning
3.5 octaves. Historically, it found favor in palaces, where it contributed to
the refinement of musical compositions during its era.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Cumbus:
Resembling an American banjo in appearance and sound, the Cumbus was developed
by Zeynel Abidin Cumbus in the early 20th century. Its unique design allows for
versatile use, with the handle detachable from the body to transform it into
various instruments like mandolins or guitars. Constructed partly from aluminum
and featuring a leather-covered chest board, the Cumbus is played using a
plectrum, offering a distinct metallic timbre.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Tanbur: The
Tanbur, a long-necked lute, is predominantly utilized in Turkish classical
music. Its fretboard adheres to the 24-interval system of Turkish music,
boasting 48 frets and a seven-stringed configuration. With a vocal range
spanning three octaves, the Tanbur delivers rich, resonant tones, making it
indispensable in traditional Turkish musical compositions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Santur: The
Santur, a type of hammer dulcimer, is a cornerstone of Persian traditional music.
Played using small mallets, it can be performed solo or as part of an ensemble.
Resembling the sound and appearance of a law, the Santur produces a distinctive
and melodic sound, contributing to the evocative richness of Persian musical
compositions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Setar: A
member of the Saz family originating from Persia, the Setar features 27 movable
frets arranged in sets of four or five strings. Traditionally crafted from wood
with metal strings and bone decorations, the Setar was widely used before the
spread of Islam. It is integral to Persian classical music, offering a nuanced
tonal range and serving as a foundational instrument in traditional Persian
compositions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Tar:
Similar in tonal range to the Setar, the Tar is utilized in the folk music of
eastern Iran. Also a long-necked lute, the Tar features a versatile sound
profile that bridges classical and folk musical styles. Its construction
includes wood and animal skin, producing a warm yet vibrant sound that
resonates deeply within Persian musical traditions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Shourangiz:
Developed later than the Tar and Setar, the Shourangiz combines wood and animal
skin in its construction. This unique blend enhances its sound, making it
stronger than the Setar yet softer than the Tar. The Shourangiz contributes a
distinct timbre to Persian music, showcasing its versatility and adaptability
in both classical and contemporary compositions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">Tambur<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">The Tambur,
a notable instrument with seven strings (sometimes eight), features a
distinctive playing style with a plectrum crafted from tortoiseshell. This
plectrum, held between the thumb, index, and middle fingers, produces a
full-bodied sound due to its narrow striking face. Its unique playing technique
sets it apart, ensuring a resonant and vibrant musical performance unlike any other
stringed instrument.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt">These
Turkish and Persian string instruments, meticulously hand-crafted by master
artisans, embody centuries of musical tradition and cultural heritage. Whether
you explore our store in Istanbul or peruse our online catalog, you'll discover
a diverse selection that celebrates the unique sounds and histories of these
remarkable instruments. Each instrument offers not just musical potential but a
profound connection to the rich tapestry of Turkish and Persian musical
traditions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

String Instruments

<p class="MsoNormal">The tar, an integral member of the Rabab family, is a
meticulously crafted stringed instrument celebrated for its rich cultural
significance and distinctive musical attributes. Resembling a figure-eight in
shape, its resonant body is traditionally hewn from mulberry wood, though
alternatives like walnut are also favored. This wooden frame not only lends
durability but also influences the instrument's acoustics, ensuring a clear and
resonant timbre that is fundamental to its character.</p><p class="MsoNormal">At the heart of the tar's design lies its double-chested
structure, housing a membrane that serves as a resonating soundtable. This
membrane, typically made from dried animal pericardium, plays a pivotal role in
shaping the instrument's tonal palette, allowing for a broad and harmonious
range. The long neck of the tar, crafted with precision and skill by master
artisans, boasts a fingerboard coated with bone for smooth playability.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The tar features a unique system of twenty-five movable
frets, meticulously placed to divide the octave into fifteen intervals. This
intricate fretting system enhances the versatility of the instrument, enabling
musicians to explore a myriad of melodic expressions and intricate musical
scales characteristic of Persian traditional and classical music.</p><p class="MsoNormal">In Iranian musical traditions, the tar holds a revered
position, serving both as a staple in folk music, urban entertainments
(motrebi), and as a distinguished instrument in classical and art music
ensembles. Its versatility is further underscored by its ability to span the
same tonal range as the setar, yet it has garnered greater popularity despite
its relatively shorter history in Iranian musical heritage.</p><p class="MsoNormal">For aficionados seeking exceptional quality, Orient Valley
offers an array of meticulously handcrafted tars. Each instrument is a
testament to the craftsmanship of skilled masters, ensuring that every tar
purchased from our store is not only a musical instrument but a piece of art.
Whether one seeks a solo tar ideal for virtuosic performances, an orchestral
tar for ensemble settings, or a student tar designed for learning and practice,
our collection caters to diverse musical aspirations.</p><p class="MsoNormal">The construction of a tar involves meticulous attention to
detail across its three main components. The body, fashioned from mulberry
wood, undergoes careful shaping to form its distinctive double-bowl structure.
Meanwhile, the neck, typically crafted from hardwoods like walnut or ebony,
supports the fretted fingerboard that is crucial for precise intonation and
melodic expression. Completing the instrument, the head, made from hazelnut
wood, not only provides balance but also contributes to the instrument's
overall resonance and aesthetic appeal.</p><p>











</p><p class="MsoNormal">In summary, the Iranian tar embodies a blend of artistry and
functionality, making it a cherished instrument for both performers and
enthusiasts alike. Whether delving into its historical roots or exploring its
contemporary musical applications, the tar continues to captivate with its
evocative sound and cultural resonance within Iranian musical traditions. A tar
purchased from Orient Valley, a store renowned for high-quality ethnic musical instruments,
ensures you acquire an instrument that will perfectly accompany you on your
musical journey.</p>
