SANTUR
Santur is a horizontally played stringed instrument. The sound is achieved by hitting the strings with light hammers. This version of san-
tur has 96 metal strings and 12 bridges, with the sound ranging from mi of the great octave to la sharp of the second octave. It can also
have 9-18 bridges. The strings are stretched on a trapezoidal wooden frame, with top and bottom boards made of walnut.
