Tabla with Santoor


Santoor, typically a North Indian folk instrument, derives its name from 'san' - meaning hundred, and 'toor' - meaning strings. It is a 100-stringed instrument. Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma brought this folk instrument into the forefront of Indian classical music. An excellent treatise on Santoor can be read at http://www.santoor.com/.
