It was mostly used in folk music of Kashmir. It took a long time until it gained recognition in classical Indian music as well. Especially the Santoor virtuoso Pt. Shivkumar Sharma has developed a differentiated stroke technique called meend (the technical term for playing unbroken notes) which contributed considerably to the acceptance of this instrument as a classical solo instrument.The santoor framework is generally made out of wood and the top & bottom boards can be either plywood or veneer.About This Santoor: Maharaja Indian Santoor - Natural Color - Pt. ShivKumar Sharma Style - BIF Model - Latest EditionThis Santoor has been crafted using tun wood & plywood. It contains 31 bridges & 93 strings that provide us with a range of 3 octaves. Tuning key is provided so that it can been easily tuned. Along with this, mallets are included for playing the instrument. An extra set of strings is also provided. This Santoor has been designed & tuned in Delhi by Sarabjit Singh.Santoor Tuning & StringingThis Santoor is dispatched with the stringing below. For the 2nd and 4th note, more thick strings can be used in order to expand the tonal range to the lower octave of the keynote:1st and 2nd string: wound 0.65 mm3rd , 4th and 5th string: steel 0.45 mm6th, 7th and 8th string: steel 0.37 mm9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th string: steel 0.35 mm15th, 16th, 17th and 18th string: steel 0.30 mm19th, 20th, 21st, 23rd and 24th string: steel 0.27 mm25th , 26th, 27th, 28th and 30th string: steel 0.25 mmThis Santoor is tuned to the keynote D. According to the chosen key or the raga that you want to play, you may tune the Santoor differently. Santoor maestro Pt. Shivkumar Sharma plays his Santoor with a diatonic tuning i.e. all strings of the Santoor are tuned to the chosen scale. This has the wonderful effect that the strings that are not struck reverberate and resonate at the same time. This produces a particularly beautiful and full sound. A further advantage is that you cannot strike a wrong note since all the strings are in tune.This tuning is the most common.You may also tune the Santoor chromatically. The 15 notes on the right are tuned to the diatonic scale whereas the strings on the left then complete the half-tones that are missing in the diatonic scale (corresponds to white and black keys of the piano).Package ContainsOne Santoor Music Instrument Length: 22.5 Inches approx.Weight:2.5-4.5 KG approx.Free MalletsOne Set of StringsTuning KeyComes in a Sturdy Storage CaseMaterialsTun wood, Ply wood, Copper/Brass/SteelPayment InformationWe only accept payment via PayPal.Terms & Conditions Designer Santoor Made in India.Your item is covered by a free Transit Shipping Insurance.
