ABOUT THE PERSIAN TAR
THE SOUND OF PERSIAN TAR
The Persian Tar is a long-necked, fretted lute and one of the principal instruments of Persian classical music. Its distinctive double-bowl wooden body has a thin skin soundboard and six strings arranged in three double courses. Played with a small plectrum called a mezrab, the Tar is capable of subtle ornamentation, powerful rhythmic articulation and highly expressive melodic performance.
