A bridge for a Persian tar made from antelope horn is a unique and traditional component of the instrument. The bridge is the part of the tar that rests on top of the soundboard and helps to transmit vibrations to the body of the instrument, ultimately producing sound.

Antelope horn is considered an ideal material for making tar bridges due to its durability and resonance properties. The natural properties of antelope horn contribute to enhancing the sound quality and tones produced by the Persian tar.

Crafting a bridge from antelope horn requires skilled craftsmanship, as it involves shaping and carving the material to achieve the desired shape and size for proper string alignment. It also needs to be meticulously balanced with other components of the tar to maintain its stability and ensure optimal performance.

The use of antelope horn for a tar bridge adds an elegant touch to the instrument while maintaining its traditional roots.
