Persian setar is one of the truest, most characteristic instrument of Persian traditional music. It is a small lute, played with a flat pick. Persian setar is like a western mandolin but with a longer neck. This instrument originally had three strings. However, it has changed through time, now it has four strings and its frets vary between 22 and 28. Persian setar is played with the index finger’s long nail. When it is strummed, it gives the melody and drone together. Persian setar has a soft timbre, but sometimes it can become loud and vigorous.
