Pooyan Nassehpoor |
Pooyan Nassehpoor attended Ostad Bayaz Amir-Atayi's instrument
making course in 1991, who is anyway the most famous
contemporary Kamanche maker.
In order to study more about tonal beauty of master Setars
Pooyan got acquainted with Saeed Peymani and his Setar
instruments in 1998.
Tonal beauty and many acoustic properties are often assigned to specific wood
character, which depends largely on wood grains, their age and it's
masterful carving out.
In search of
finding a Setar which combines the 3 important criteria like perfect grains
of bowl strips, the masterful carving out of the strips and
Setar's top (face) and the age of Tonewood, which leads to
excellent sounding instruments, Pooyan discovered Saeed Peymani's
perfectionist side of his Setar making skills.
Peymani
is widely known as one of the most reliable contemporary
Setar makers
beside famous Setar makers like Ramin Jazayeri.

Saeed Peymani initiated to make Persian musical instruments in
1984 after he studied Persian Goblet drum under the supervision of
the late Ostad Nasser Farhangfar.
Since that time he experienced to make some of Persian musical instruments like
Tar, and Setar etc....
He also makes another instruments like Tanbour and Gharibaneh
too.
The fantastic selection of strips from very old mulberry wood
with fine and intensive grains is the essential element of
Peymani instruments. |
|
With a very simple
observation you can detect the natural dark color of the
old-aged mulberry
wood strips.
Peymani doesn't use even though any wood stain but the color of
bowl strips are naturally darken.
Through combining these precious tone woods and his masterful
setar making skills Peymani instruments get in a very short time
a smooth and warm sound, which you can expect only from old-aged
instruments.
The Peymani instruments have been played by many great masters
like Dariush Talai, Hossein Alizadeh etc.
As mentioned above Peymani is widely known as a
reference Setar maker,
but only in favor of Santoori he makes Persian Kamanche exactly
as unrepeatable he makes his Setars. |
