Innovative Iranian musical instruments

Innovative Iranian musical instruments

 Persian innovative musical instruments displayed at the Iranian Artists Forum on Sunday may 31 till June 1, 2009. The collection was gathered by Iranian musicians and makers. Many musicians made great efforts over the past few years to make changes in the structure and materials of the instruments. They also tried to add more new instruments to our previous collections which need to be recognized. People were actually able to test and play the displayed instruments during the two-day exhibit. Here is a report with some images
