[STUFetc]

This guy is awesome I wish I could play this

(my favorite musical instrument)

[NourLior]

can anyone tell me the name of this piece?

[shcoke2]

This is such a beautiful Musical Instrument and should have appeared in the Sound of Music. It shows the musical advance of IRAN ... the world should see this beautiful human side of IRAN...

[PersianPrince1390]

Naaze-shastet Shahyar Khan!!! It was truly a mezmorizing treat and I immensly enjoyed it! A great example of young Persian talent...

[edusya]

iran is not persia!

There are many bigger tribes in Iran and they are not Persian.

[tinofeyz]

@edusya What do you purpose that we should call IRAN or PERSIA!? What tribe are you from!? I am Bakhtiyari...Should I call IRAN the land of Bakhtiyari!? ;)

[shariotoflove]

Iran is the best at santoor, then China, and then everyone else ;)

[shariotoflove]

he has the same name as me =D

[mokkshaa]

Wonderful playing!

[Temokatenco]

Me encanta que sonido tan bonito! lo transporta como en el tiempo

[MrOmeriscool]

hand and eye coordination of grace!

[salamander621]

this is the side of the persians the media doesnt want us too see.....

[npaza]

@salamander621 the Iranian nation wants to be independent. that's why it is being targeted

[hugaoldo]

why u talk in bad way about irani ppl? american ppl is the terrorist not them i have my boyfriend iranian and im so happy wz him they are amazing and kid person shut up !!! TAX avier fuck u

[hanoon2]

thats a link for u to see watch?v=-tV0ps0XWxI and the man is a jewish iraqi and hes playing the santur

[hanoon2]

ok wait i think people are getting this wrong. the santur is a IRAQI instrument and only iraqis use it and not in anything but only in their maqam

[weyselsala]

santur almak isteyenler iletişime geçebilir.

[Drumhyper1]

Awesome musicianship! I felt like I should have been paying to watch it. You're amazing!

[soulreaperichig0]

@Fann111 lol r u mad ? ? u can't compare these 2 he is on another level

[mrHamid747]

very very bahal booooooood :)

[ILOVEMFEO]

my twopence for what's worth:

1: excellent piece :)

2: we have a great santoor folkmusic tradition in greece too

3: etymology: san-toor from sanskrit kata = hundred and tor = chord > hence the "hundred-chord" instrument

of similar etymology: guitar and sitar

cheers from brussels

[alexasiandude]

This guy SLAYS. Props to your mad skills.

[Odieandgarfield]

I love exotic instruments.

[davidcalderisi]

Dear Sir,

Might it be possible to purchase the right to use some of your music for a recital I am working on of the Rubiayt of Omar Khayyam?

[Drumking321]

This is simply incredible! Both in musicianship and in emotion, breathtaking on both accounts. Truly one of the finest examples of any Hammered Dulcimer instrument type performances ever. Like the person below me said, this transcends any cultural or geographic differences. Fantastic, hope the artist has a chance to read these comments, for he deserves a shower of praise for this performance! Thank you! If you (the musician) read this.

[goluckyPersians]

this guy is amazing :)

[InnerflamesUnLtd]

Absolutely amazing!! Thank you.

How old is the player and how long has he been playing the Santur? any formal tutoring undertaken?

Looking forward to more videos.

[TomSolivin]

@InnerflamesUnLtd

my guess, since he was little.

perhaps thousands of hours!

You do take formal training & practice on a regular bases, like Piano.

.

[unicenterclub]

[rajzalim]

mind blowing ,,God bless u man,,,,,

[mjantube]

I'm blown away! wow!

[Kriegsphilosphie]

Blown away, nice choice of words you did there. I bet he's from Iraq, probably blown away.

[nek2728]

@Kriegsphilosphie he is persian and from iran

[XkingdumbX]

@DariushAryani , why do you swear? why?

I love santoor, no matter what some say where it came from,,

[ELkuken]

[MrNymoron]

cheers

[Djinn1111]

please tell me where i could buy your music with internet

[NimaSun]

Would I be correct in thinking that the audio and footage were recorded at two separate instances?

[TomSolivin]

@NimaSun

No! because his hands moves a bit faster that you can hear, record, & comprehend ... it seems that way even when you are present and tune in!

Hey thanks for getting back to me about where to purchase a santoor.

I appreciate that a lot!

[l35505]

OMG very nice

[Debra2Debra]

Wonderful music.

Could you please tell me where I could buy a true Persian Santoor? I live in austin texas. I absolutely love the sound. Your playing is magnificent!

Debra

[immortalmuffinz]

hell yeah, reppin texas.

im going back to Iran to get my Santur. Bests ones there if u want the highest quality ones. everywhere else they import and copy so its not genuine.

[coredumper]

If you are a Santoor fan, search for "Tamana Parviz Meshkatian" on youtube as well ! i'm pretty sure you'll like it ... :)

[hamic13]

at 5:05 till 5:21,there you know how master full is this guy

[Broken1801]

wow that is just amazing!!!!!

[stalkeruk4]

Thank you so much

[deidsonpassos]

MUITO BOM

[ikaros2006]

1) the instrument is Asyrian. 2) We, the Greeks we play it much better :-)

[NimaSun]

The Santur in this shape and form is Iranian. Also from what I've heard Iranians play it much better, I'll be more than happy to check out any videos..

[skatastolako]

I am greek too and I have to say that I have never seen a greek guy play with so much passion and technique. We play it way differently, this guy is really something else. Stay creative my fellow!

a friend from Greece

[ikaros2006]

@ skatastonkolosou

I am greek too and i can give you some links here in YT to listen how greeks play. or in greek να ξεστραβωθεις για να μη γραφεις μαλακιες.

[hamic13]

i wish i could play like you :)

[chewyn123]

oh i love that song

sigh..listening to those persian music, I wish Iran was back to FREEDOM so I can go visit my family, the beauty of the country and thousands years of history!!

This is IRANIAN art, best ever.

[Rivera1012003]

Beautiful,I am going to buy one of these instruments.

[bababahal]

The Most Amazing Trilogy; essentially this work is evidence of the supremacy of Persian, (IRANIAN) classical works at it's finest in the hands of this young master musician.  Dexterity of the new age with new limits. BRAVO!

[Roger160]

Absolutely amazing i am not iranian but i have played this clip about 10 times the music is very relaxing and the way he plays ie: the movment of his hands & how praffesional it is done is really amazing, my sincere wishes to you.

[persiancomedy]

An amazing performance.

Best wishes
