Persian/Iranian Tar is one of the most popular instruments of Persian classical music.
The complexity of making Iranian Tar makes this instrument to the most expensive instrument of Persian music. The main task of making Iranian Tar is the bowl, which is from white mulberry wood. The rest Part of the Tar is mainly made from walnut. The surface of the fingerboard is made from the Camel leg bone and the middle part of this surface is from walnut or ebony.
The first point to make a very good and reference class Tar is choosing the best tone wood so that the instrument can create a very warm and soft sounding.
The second step is to value the beautiness of Tar and to pattern great old masters of Iranian Tar like Yahya and Jafar-e Sanat.
The third point is not more only the aspect of nice looking, but also to own the mastership of making instruments with excellent sounding. Not all of the Tar makers deserve the notice of the late great master of Tar Yahya or Jafar Sanat.
Among the contemporary Iranian alive Tar makers are the followings notable:
Ostad Farahmand, Ostad Pourya and Ramin Jazayeri.
The Tars of the above masters costs about between $6000 - $8000.
Santoori.com is anxious to present younger master instrument makers like master Saberi, as one of the distinguished students of Ostad Farahmand, so that we can offer professional Iranian Tars with a very fair and reasonable price.
Pooyan Nassehpoor, as the owner of Santoori.com, who is a certified musical instrument maker recommend Ostad Saberis Tars because he believes that the difference between the sound quality of Farahmands Tar and Sabers one are not very noticeably.
Santoori.com recommends strongly the super professional instruments of Saberi, because the price of the instruments correspond fairly for the quality of the instrument. In order to get a better impression, we would like to request you watching the audio sample of Santoor.com, where Parham Nassehpoor plays on a Saberi Tar.
