Persian Setar - Stringed Instrument

The Setar is a traditional Persian string instrument with a rich history that dates back over 500 years. Originating in Persia, it is one of the oldest and most revered instruments in Iranian classical music. Traditionally crafted from high-quality wood, the Setar now typically features four strings, although its name, derived from the Persian word for “three,” references its original three-string design.
