Product Description
This is a vintage Persian tar attributed to Ramazan Shahrakh (see the article), one of the most respected and influential tar makers in Iranian musical history.
*Note: Sazyar inc. offers restoration of the missing bone (Top right of Peg Box) and other sections, in case you are interested in the professional luthier-level restoration prior to shipping*
As documented in references on Shahrakh, the three-stamp instruments represent the highest and most valuable tier of his craftsmanship. This tar is an original three-stamp example, certified by Sazyar Inc.
Sazyar Inc. also confirms that only minimal alterations have been performed, maintaining the instrument’s structural integrity and historical authenticity.
Shahrakh’s instruments are known for their meticulous construction, tonal balance, and refined aesthetics. This piece delivers an extraordinary, resonant sound with depth, warmth, and clarity—qualities highly valued by both performers and collectors.
Beyond its musical excellence, this tar carries significant vintage and cultural value, representing a level of craftsmanship that is no longer replicated today. Original three-stamp Shahrakh instruments are particularly rare and increasingly sought after.
Estimated age: circa 1950s to early 1960s, aligning with Shahrakh’s later working period prior to his retirement from intensive instrument construction.
