Features of the Divan instrument

The Divan instrument is a percussion instrument and belongs to the tanbour family. In appearance, this instrument is very similar to the tanbour, except that it is larger in size. The Divan instrument, like other instruments in this group, consists of three main parts: a resonant bowl, handle, and strings. They make Divan instruments in different sizes. Its small size is called Jora, its medium size is called Baghlama and its large size is called the instrument of Divan. This instrument has 24 curtains that can be moved. The number of strings is nine or seven. The order of the strings in the nine-string instrument is three sets of triplets and in the seven-string instrument is 2-3-2. The resonant bowl of the Divan has a relatively large diameter of about 35 mm. The instrument is also played with a plastic percussion instrument and the middle finger must be placed on the resonant bowl when you are playing it. The most important Divan musicians are Shavanparvar, Ardal Arzanjan, Orhan Ganjehbai, and Diar Darsim. This instrument is especially popular among the Kurds and has many famous players in Turkish Kurdistan, Iraqi Kurdistan, Iranian Kurdistan, and Syrian Kurdistan.

Music education in Edinburgh

Edinburgh has been at the forefront of Scottish classical, folk, pop, and punk scenes for many years. It is home to Scotland's oldest concert venue, St. Cecilia Hall which took classical music out of private venues and opened it to the public in the late 18th century. The Ceilidh Folk Festival, held in 1951 at the Oddfellows Hall (now McSurrells), is recognized as an event that has begun to revive English traditional music. Edinburgh's most important musicians include Davey John Stone, Shirley Manson, Paddy Milner, Vistas, Steve Manson, Unicorn Kid, and more. The Edinburgh International Music Festival is also held annually in this city, which is one of the most important music festivals in the United Kingdom.
