The Indian Santoor is the oldest known string instrument of India. While it had originally been part of the classical music in Persia, the santoor was a highland folk instrument in India. The Indian Santoor is a flat shaped instrument in the form of a trapezoid. Two light wooden hammers are included to play along the metal strings providing an exotic sound.
Note: Whether you purchase an instrument on-line or from a physical store locally, it is recommended that you change the strings on your new instrument as soon as you receive it. The strings of an instrument both in a store or shipped to you are exposed to air and different environments prior to you receiving it. During this time the strings WILL oxidize, decreasing it's life expectancy and reducing the quality of it's sound. On occasion instruments may even arrive with a broken string, therefore, it is recommended that you purchase a replacement set of strings and consider changing your strings as soon as it arrives. Learning to change strings should be the first lesson learned when embarking on the journey of playing a new instrument.
