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.
