Tanbur

The Tanbur is a traditional stringed instrument originating from the Middle East and Central Asia, known for its long neck and resonant sound. It typically has multiple strings that are plucked or strummed to produce music, often used in classical, folk, and spiritual performances. Its rich, warm tone makes it suitable for lyrical melodies and improvisation. Variations of the Tanbur exist across cultures, with differences in size, tuning, and playing techniques, reflecting its deep historical and regional significance in musical traditions.
