Hello Pooyan,

The santour is very beautiful. It is better than described. I particularly like the deep grain patterns on the wood. It's not only nice to look at, but it sounds very pleasant too. I enjoy the sound of the brass strings (as opposed to copper) on the bass side. It has a good ring to it without the annoying overtones associated with copper. Plus, it's nice not having to use felt on the hammers (you feel more connected to the instrument without it). Thanks for another wonderful instrument!

Take care,
