[@kevkivi2529]

Not even kidding. I was in Barcelona I think in 2017. And I think I met him then. We met this Persian man playing santoor in a park in Barcelona and we spoke to him in Farsi. Mabye it was him. I mean how many Persian Santoor street artists can there be in Barcelona?

Persian santour is very difficult! But so beautiful. I have one, and am learning. Not an easy instrument, especially coming from a background in playing wind instruments.

[@k3musiclover405]

Speechless Bro...

[@nYxkYx]

Why do people, who have no sense of music / melody intellect have to talk rubbish just to pump their ego? The Santur originated in the Royal Courts of the Persian Empire and then moved down to the Ottomans who took it with them to some parts of Europe and during the same time when Persians came as invaders, traders and artisans to Asia (India etc.,) they got the instrument with them and has thus remained a part of India's culture ever since. Please stop spreading false information!!

[@uudeepak]

And what happened to the santoor culture of the lands from where it has been originated as u said nYxkYx. U googled some data sheet which is purely meaningless. Can u name some of famous santoor players of any part of the world other than India. It is the Indian musicians who have made much change to the original Persian version. That is the case with other Persian instruments like Sarod or Sarangi, Sitar too. The Indian versions are much ahead of the original prototypes. All credits goes to the Indian culture patronizing music and the Muslim rulers, religion, culture has almost spoiled the music culture from the Arabian and Middle East which had been there for the last thousand years. Frusted Orthodox Muslims should have realized that music has no religion and cherished it, instead they declared it haram as said in Koran which is utterly nonsense.

Come on man, you do realize almost all of your ancient arts and language comes from Parsia (Persians/Aryans). It's ok though, most undereducated people will believe you and there is a lot of them.

[@tuhinlahiri24111992]

there was no aryan invasion in India sir, That was a hoax by some europen historians (Max Muller etc. and it has been genetically disproved). and as far santoor is concerned, you can always check facts on the Internet.

[@varadmore]

Half knowledge is dangerous.One must not confuse the Indian santoor with the Persian santur. The Indian santoor is box-like while the Persian version is much wider.
