Persian Setaar (Masoud )

The Persian Setaar by Masoud is a masterfully crafted instrument, blending tradition with precision. Crafted from aged mulberry wood for the body, this wood is highly regarded for its acoustic properties, giving the Setaar a deep, resonant tone. The neck is made of durable walnut, offering a comfortable grip and durability. Ebony is often used for the fingerboard, ensuring smooth playability and precise note control.

The Setaar features three main strings and a fourth sympathetic string, adding depth and harmonic richness. Its tonal quality is both warm and bright, capable of delivering the subtle nuances of traditional Persian music, but adaptable enough for more modern compositions.

Its lightweight build and careful balance make it easy to handle, ideal for long performances or practice sessions. The natural varnish finish highlights the beautiful grain of the wood, adding elegance to the instrument’s look. This Setaar is not only an excellent musical tool but also a visually stunning piece, often adorned with subtle decorative inlays for an added aesthetic appeal.
