Construction follows traditional Persian spike-fiddle geometry: a rounded resonating bowl carved from mulberry wood with maple inlay banding, joined to a hardwood neck fitted with four turned tuning pegs. A membrane of fine lamb skin stretches across the bowl opening, with a wooden bridge transferring string vibration from the four strings to a brass tailpiece with fine tuners. A typical instrument measures around 70 cm in total length with a 34 cm string scale — sized for the traditional upright bowing posture, resting on the knee or a stand. Our collection spans two tiers: the Professional Persian Kamancheh by Bajalavand for players entering serious practice, and the High Quality Persian Kamancheh by Hatami for those seeking a premium instrument that ships with a rigid protective case. Every kamancheh ships complete with its bow. Worldwide shipping & 15-day return apply to every order, checked before it leaves our Brisighella, Italy showroom.
