Who said that it's Indian

[@pedramjavadzade7815]

for a person who doesn't know the history of the music in Asia or who doesn't know anything about this instrument, what is the meaning of this: A short film about the santoor, a hammered dulcimer used in Hindustani (North Indian) classical music??

@@pedramjavadzade7815 yep 80% of use in Indian only u can check that....... And it's not north Indian mostly it's used in south dude

[@mohammedeqbal9711]

@@pedramjavadzade7815 and they said it's used in hindustani... Not hindustan instrument..... I think there's different meaning for both.... And also that person who's playing is Indian so when a person who's doing documentary is there any need to tell the ancient history in title??
