Tar

Iranian Tar – The Soul of Persian Classical Music

The Iranian Tar is a cornerstone of Persian classical music, known for its deep, expressive tones and intricate craftsmanship. This traditional plucked string instrument features a double-bowl body made from mulberry wood and a lambskin membrane that enhances its rich, resonant sound. Played with a small brass plectrum, the Tar offers a wide dynamic range and is capable of conveying subtle emotions, from delicate melancholy to passionate intensity.

With its long neck, adjustable frets, and three double courses of strings, the Iranian Tar is both a technically sophisticated and spiritually evocative instrument. It has been played by Persian music masters for centuries and continues to be a symbol of Iran’s rich cultural heritage.

At Tapadum Music Store, we offer carefully selected handcrafted Iranian Tars, ideal for both professional musicians and students. Each instrument reflects the legacy of Persian luthiery and is designed to meet the needs of traditional and contemporary players alike.
