Introducing the tanbur instrument
The persian tanbur is a wound string instrument that consists of three general parts: the handle, the resonant bowl, and the strings. The handle of the tanbur is very tall (about 70 to 80 cm) and its resonant bowl is made of several pieces. How many strings does the tanbur instrument have? In the past, tanbur had two strings, but today this number has increased to three. There are two main tunes for the tanbur: the seven-handed tuning and the five-handed persian tanbur tuning. Unlike many stringed instruments, tanbur is played without artificial percussion and with four fingers. The album Sedaye Sokhane Eshgh by Shahram Nazeri is the first album to officially introduce this instrument. Famous persian tanbur players include tanbur master Sohrab Pournazeri, Assadollah Farmani, Seyyed Ali Jaberi, Amir Hayati, Seyyed Arash Shahriari, etc.
