The Setar (Persian: سهتار, from seh, meaning "three" and tār, meaning "string") is an Iranian musical instrument. It is a member of the lute family, which is played with the index finger of the right hand. Two and a half centuries ago, a fourth string was added to the Setar which most of the time has the same tone of the bass string. It has 25–27 moveable frets which are usually made of animal intestines or silk. Setar covers about 2 and a half scale (depending on the length the handle). some musicians even use its different strings like chords such Mohsen Namjoo and Masood Shoari who are relatively pioneers in creating a new playing style for Setar.
