@avin44 Psalterium?? No my friend, I might suggest you watching some assyrian bass-reliefs:) Anyway the persian santoor is the end of the line and it`s the best! I am just subjective so perhaps and I am sure I can be wrong!

@Nasser90santour Yes the 4th string was added in Qajar era....perhaps I`m mistaken.:)

The oldest depiction of Santur is on the Assyrian cylinder seals, so if anything it is Iraqi.

Some info on some of the earlier controversies: santoor originated from psalterium which was played with fingers. Persians converted it into better a hammered instruments. Persia at one time extended to present day Pakistan and the western part of Kashmir. Kashmiris made a still better 100-stringed instrument: a smaller one which shared both the charactertics of a 72-stringed Santur and a 100-stringed ethnic lute. So each conversion proved better.

Simple, practice practice practice. If you have Dastur-e Santur by Ostad Payvar, read how he describes they method of holding mezrab. It is important that you also hold the mezrab properlly.
