What is the Iranian violin?
Traditional and classical Iranian violins are different. For example, in the classical style, the tuning is always fixed, but in the Iranian style, different tunes are used. In classical style, the violin is always played with other instruments, and in most cases with the piano. While the Iranian violin solo is more famous, different tunings are used to compensate for the other sounds and ease of fingering. In the Iranian violin training class, books such as the Ruhollah Khaleghi Iranian violin training book and the Radif Saba violin book are used. These books focus on introducing different Iranian musical instruments, the corners of the instruments, teaching Iranian violin tuning, and smoothing the fingers. The important question is which one is better, Iranian or classical violin? As many students say, Iranian violin is more difficult to learn than classical and the student should get acquainted with the classical style first. Among the most important Iranian violinists, we can mention Habiba Allah Khaleghi, Parviz and Hossein Yahaghi, Abolhassan Saba, Mehdi Khaledi, Ali Tajvidi, Assadollah Malek, etc., who have played a variety of happy Iranian violin songs.
