When it comes to tuning a Persian Setar, you typically use tuning pegs rather than a tuning key. Traditional Persian Setars are equipped with wooden pegs that are turned by hand to adjust the tension of the strings and achieve the desired pitch. It's important to handle the tuning pegs with care, making slight adjustments to achieve the correct pitch for each string. While some modern variations of Setars might incorporate mechanical tuning machines or keys, the traditional method involves using pegs for a more authentic playing experience. If your Setar has tuning pegs, be sure to turn them gently to avoid sudden changes in tension, allowing for precise tuning. If your Setar has tuning machines, you can use a tuning key to adjust the tension of the strings. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and recommendations for tuning your specific instrument.
