Intro to the Santoor

[@mangeshlavhale4732]

santoor has one of the sweetest sound.

[@joshuaa.c.newman7430]

So wonderful to have a technical demonstration of a genre and instrument that is usually portrayed as impenetrably complex! Thank you!

[@alexgabriel5423]

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.

I d like to see a video on the sitting position and on how to place the santur correctly on the legs. I think it is very important.

Very nice! Can you explain where the notes are and how they are played for different scales like C or C# etc including Komal swaras

[@Lamp-stand]

It's a way underrated instrument.

[@alexgabriel5423]

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!

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.

[@LukeKwan78]

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?

[@edgar_annapurna]

The Persian is bigger than the indian

Santour is Iranian (Persian) instrument not Indian

[@tomasparra720]

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 😁
