Thank you for posting this video. The santur is played in many countries, from India to Persia and from there to Greece and Romania....and in America. It has a very interesting travel history! In itself a beautiful tale! Its echo fills the universe.
Yes is originated from Persia but travelled the world, all the instruments in history travelled the world, like some Persian instruments like the Ney(the oldest examples comes from egypt) or even the tambour or Setar comes from ancient Sumerian gish-gu-di and also the ancient Egypt Nefer, so every instruments comes from other culture but with time it adapted to the territory and traditions of the place, and that makes music great because it's free to travel and create beyond cultures 😁

Hello Sir, Could you please let me know where to buy this instrument and also would like to know if you teach online? Really appreciate your kind response. Thank you Hari.
I got a tuning recipe that gives all sharps & flats on right side and all the naturals on the left. I can't imagine playing most of the notes in the melody with my left hand! Can I get any advice? Thank You!
@@pinkfloyd364 lol persian one was modelled after indian ome It was known as shat tantri veens Which vecame santoor In amcient natya texts of india it was ready there So persian got this from india
Thank u so much for this.. Although I understand u are using English terms for everyone to be able to understand, we would get a better flavour if u told us the real names ...such as for "wooden strikers" And it's pure magic when u play it!!

Can someone here suggest where one can buy a decent pro class quality Santoor instrument in Mumbai? Preferably a link to a site would be greatly helpful. I'd like to buy one. Thank you.
I was just tasked with being in charge of finding and buying an Santur. I live in Texas. I didn’t happen to find any local, but there are 102 on eBay from $300-$3000. Since I know nothing about them, what I’d difference between Indian and Persian santur/Santoor? Is there any place in america that I can buy them? What should one pay for them?
@@Nikhil_Nerlekar you arevwrong brother, we have santoor written in Avesta which is estimated to be 5 000 years old, yo can do a search on google if you like :)
@@Nikhil_Nerlekar i would love to try the indian santoor, it looks and sounds interesting but i don't think I'm gonna be able to find it here in iran. I'm gonna plan a trip to india as soon as this covid-19 situation is solved. How does it work in india are there santoor master makers and how much does a good santoor costs?
@@Nikhil_Nerlekar here in iran santoors and other classical instruments as kamanche , tar ,setar, tanbour can cost a lot and the masters who build them are very famous and they're treated with a lot of respect

For your kind information santoor is an Iraqi instrument not indian.
Are you serious? Santoor is an ancient iranian instrument. All instruments with strings are originally from iran, TAR means string in persian
Iraqi instrument!? 😃
It's iranian but this it was modified in India
Hello everybody looking for a description of the instrument tuning please
Thank you !
It's not an Indian instrument. It's an Iranian one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santur
It is known as shat tantri veena
In ancient sanskrit texts amd was present before the persian one
So it has indian origin
@@Zayn_Priyadarshin Even the Indian Santoor wiki says that it's originated in Mesopotamia/Iran en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santoor
