mohamadi from isfahan?

and one more qashtion is waht is the size of your first string(the low do).

thank you again.

[Masterazeri]

Dude I thought that I can play Tar but seems not. You have done it well. Well what else can I say. Keep it up. And by the way you have tuned your tar not like DO, Sol, DO. It sounds something different. I would be happy if you give me some clues where I can find this music notes.

[riahiarshia]

You should hear his voice. He has an equally amazing voice !!

[shefteisfahani]

This great magical music took me all the way back to Isfahan, good old times, your music comes from heart as always, great job, looking forward to see more.

[bijantheuploader]

Very Nice Touch ! I admire your style , very much like the tar pioneers of Iran

[theflyingglove]

I read the comic "Chicken with Plums" by the Iranian writer Marjane Satrapi, about a tar player in the 50s. Having finally looked it up on youtube to listen to what the tar sounds like I greatly enjoyed your performance, it was amazing.

I like that you've bought a gem from your culture to America.

With respect,

John

Your playing is very strong and expressive... thanks for sharing.

A question: Is it traditional for tar players to use strictly the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd fingers of the left hand? I noticed that Sahba Motalebi does not appear to ever use her 'little' / 4th finger (even for long stretches), and you seem to not use it either.

Why not use it, by the way?

Thanks, - Warren

[theflyingglove]

in this perfotmance (you may well be refering to a different one) i've noticed his fourth come into play several times? xx

[wa0000]

You're right... it's just moving too fast for me to see it! Watching more carefully, I do see that it's definitely in service.

Thanks! - WA

I enjoy your music and have listened to it dozen times. My curiosity is from the title

"Testing my tar" is it testing the tar you have crafted? or testing your music skills? In either case the sound is very warm and affectionate.

[abadani]

Since at the age of 10 I loved the sound of tar and setar. Thank you all for your music.

long live Iran. Bring freedom back to Iran. We had enough ofI.R.

[filsoofimusic]

evrytime i listen to this video I really enjoy the way u gently  play your new Tar

[nader112389]

do you use a guitar pick?

[setarmaker]

No. I just use regular picks, made of brittle brass or other brittle alloys. 45mm total length which 19 mm of it is uncovered with wax and touches the strings.

[shahrokhsa]

vaghean dastet dard nakone. Man ziyad vared nistam to tar, ama kheyli dust daram in ghateio ke zadid bedunam esmesh chiye, (ham un pish daraamadesho va ham khode chaarmezrabo) va az koja mishe hadeghal notesho gir biaram bezanam, Mersi. Zende bashi

عالی

[KhashayarPazooki]

how nice it could be, once we all would leave room for all performers to be how they are. People are different, so let the styles be different. We have more than one color in this world as far as I have realized. Ostad Lotfi and others have a right to be what and how they are. Tolerance has always been a challange. cheers

عمو احمد اگر فکر میکنی که ما یادمان رفته که تو قراره ویدیو های بیشتر پست کنی - اشتباه میکنی. ما منتظریم ومثل گدا ها دم این در نشسته ایم و ول کن هم نیستیم. با درود و سپاس برتو پسر خوب ایرانی- بهمن

[nahzani]

Beautiful & relaxing plus you need to have a glass of wine and enjoy the spirit. Wonderful piece and thanks for sharing.

[Meaneradicator]

چه زیبا و چه راحت مینوازد- دستش درد نکند. درود بر تو

[pedokh]

ummmmmmmm, pretty nice. Beautiful char mezrab. It's a rear and tough zarb, 6\16 rather than 3/4. It makes it more professional. Loved it, Thanks.

Great piece, masterful playing, nice sound!!

[mehrshads]

Very nice music for the soul from the setarmaker. I was working late and upon taking a break came across your music. It was a pleasure to hear your setar. Please post more of your music for us in the future and keep up playing.

P.S. Beautiful painting in the background.
