Thank you Lots! I purchased my own Setar several months ago and have been looking for tutorials in English. A beautiful sound I hope to duplicate one day after much practice.
Thank you for posting. I now am very interested in learning to play the second instrument that you presented, the one that is "provoking one's passion". Thank you very much.
this instrument should be tuned according to the Persian music modes ( Dastgahs). there are 7 Dastgahs in Persian music and each of them requires its own tuning . I can say it can be tuned in more than 11 ways !
That shouldn't be such a problem. Try: the bottom course (on top of the neck closest to you) are tuned in an octave anyway. C is a little high, but I often tune mine up to B and it's good. The middle course can be G or F, and the main course is often C (in setar tuning), but it can be tuned to B flat and in some styles, like for the Bosnian saz, where it would be tuned to D (in our theoretical tuning-actual notes may vary :). You really have all the same notes, just more strings!
Persian music speaks to you about the pain that all Iranians have been suffering from for many years, to me this is like blues for Americans to be honest with you sort of sounds like blues too!
Cosmo Spacemonkey They aren't permanently fixed, and you may realign them whenever you fill that your instrument is out of tune or is sounding in a wierd way, and its simple if you have a tuning app, just move the frets till they're tuned, and don't be very idealistic cause in persian instruments you will never reach a perfectly placed fret!
Hi gentleman, could you tell me the total length of this instrument and the tuning of each string. I'm wanting to recommend one, but I need at least this information can you help me?
@@sohrabj1811 Thank you, i thought that, in fact the range of the instrument is too high, but why he put the examples in bass clef? There are some instruments in persian music that can be read in bass clef? Do you know some method on setar? Sorry for all these questions. Have a nice day
@@SatanaInSensoCosmico you're welcome. It's just the string tuning written in bass clef, but it's more common to write the tuning in treble clef, but the musical note is the same. Basic tuning for setar is: C4, G4, C4 and C3 We can write note sheets in bass clef for Oud and of course have to write the bass part of Iranian piano with bass clef, But for Oud, it's easier for Iranian musician to read the note sheet in treble clef, they write it in treble. If you're going to learn setar you can find "ketab avval honarestan" on Google. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@sohrabj1811 Thank you. Actually, I'm not so into this world, so any information you give me is gold. I am fascinated by persian instruments such as dotar, tanbur (maybe these two use the diatonic system) and setar and I am more used to read in bass clef, so seeing this video (when he put the examples in bass clef) I thought it was more easy for me to read musical notes for setar. But maybe it was a stupid thought. However the setar technique fascinates me.
@@SatanaInSensoCosmico happy it was useful. As it's just the tuning when we play it's getting very high pitched sounds, so it gets a bit difficult to write it in bass clef. For learning setar you can use below link to download the pdf file of the formal book teaches in Iran: learnmusics.ir/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/Ketab-e-Aval-Honarestan-Tarlearnmusics.ir_.pdf Good luck with your learning.
Hi, i just want to know what's the difference between this instrument and the Saz instrument from Turkey/Greece. Thank you, hope I don't start a nationality war in the comment section
This instrument has three strings (actually four) and it is played with the index finger. The Baglama is played with a plectrum (sometimes with fingers, which is called Şelpe/Shelpe) and it has seven strings divided in 3 groups of strings. Both of them are Ancient intruments and are used in Sufi gathering rituals. Baglama is a Turkish instrument not a Greek instrument, Setar is a Persian instrument.
Depending on what Dastgah you play, you need to change the tuning. Here he played Shoor at the beginning of the video (do sol la re), but the most common tuning is do sol do do, enabling you to play all 7 dastgahs.
Pure mastery... Human and instrument becoming one... Thank you for sharing!
It's so loud ! I like it very much.
Thank you, Sir !
i m back in iran when i hear him playing. he makes it sing like a human cry
fuck u scammer!
Absolutely beautiful.
You are in resonance with your surrounding. It is only then can you play this deep and meaningful. God bless you.
Thank you Lots! I purchased my own Setar several months ago and have been looking for tutorials in English. A beautiful sound I hope to duplicate one day after much practice.
This is a wonderful video - thank you very much for posting!
traditional culture is just amazing!
It’s so different from the sitar I play. I like the sound of it. Very nice.

Kiya you are amazing!
beautiful, i love this music..i miss iran...
The most talented living setar player in North America.
very informative, good technique, nice feeling!, thank you very much for sharing it and hope to see more
Thank you so much. I am writing a book and wanted to know something about Persian instruments.
this instrument should be tuned according to the Persian music modes ( Dastgahs). there are 7 Dastgahs in Persian music and each of them requires its own tuning . I can say it can be tuned in more than 11 ways !
In fact there is a dastgah called Segah that in many ways mirrors some American blues rhythms and note patterns.
he is a master of setar

great musician he is. *****
It is beautiful. I wish they had shown his hands more at the very beginning
you are so great in setar especialy your music under the sky kalhor
@theoriginalmcsquare depends on the modal system that you are playing. Usually it is tuned in c - c -g - c

Reza I agree. However unlike persian music, Kurdish music has more joy than sorrow!
Yes, I’m completely with you, that’s what I often thought about this kind of music - it’s Blues. And it’s wonderful…
great camera work!!!!
How often do the frets need to be realigned - or are they permanently placed once they are tied. Do you have a suggestion as to where to buy from?

Hola donde puedo ver un video como colocar una nueva cuerda al SETAR o pueden bajar un video ....Muchas GRASIAS...Bendiciones *****
What a cool guy.
Fantastic. I m pretty positive that the tune that he played with is " C G C F " which is shour scale.
Pls show the instrument playing
ماشاالله
good job bro. eywal dari
My situation is even worse. I am trying to tune my baglama to setar, it has 3 sets of strings I nave no idea what to do with it =)
What kind of strings are you using that can pitch bend without breaking?
Does anyone happen to know a place in Germany where I can buy a good setar?
Adam çalıyor agaa kalbimi parçaladı

Setar players read in bass clef?
Treble clef

Can you just play a melody on the bottom string to start with as a beginner,or do you need to chord as a beginner
بسیار عالی

Superbe *****
Sounds great to me, a novice, but I thought I was to tune to C/G? And I wish I could see his hands...
From the bottom to top C-C-G-C?
5 stars!
I want to connect with you if I can
🎶🎵🎶
where can I get one of these?
I can make a setar for you
what is the tuning of this instrument?
Do, Sol, La, Re

SHOW INSTRUMENT, NOT FACE!
Indian banjo
Persian.
Predates the Indian sitar. But is in the banjo family, as it used to be made from a gourd and resembles the African Egyptian lutes.
