The Persian santoor is a traditional hammered dulcimer with origins in Iran. It features a flat trapezoidal body and is typically strung with 72 to 160 strings, played by striking with lightweight mallets called mezrab. Each note is produced by a unique grouping of strings, creating rich, resonant tones ideal for Persian classical music. The instrument’s design and tuning vary across cultures, but the Persian santoor remains especially known for its delicate, expressive sound and importance in Middle Eastern and Persian musical traditions.
