Talk:Setar

Keivan Saket
Hallo,

the picture that you have titled "Azerbajijani Setar" shows nothing else but a Uzbek "Sato" (pronunced Sätâ) which is the bowed version of the uzbek tanbur. - Robabnawaz -  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.144.23.231 (talk) 17:16, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Hi all, I removed "Keivan Saket" from the most notable setar players list, because first, he is mostly a tar player, and second, I don't believe he can make it to a list like this (top ten?!) by any means. I do enjoy his art and believe he is a good musician, but I believe should not be listed. Thanks, MrMo 06:12, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I've added back "Keyvan Saket" because I think, by any definition, he is one the best setar players we had ever. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.225.244.206 (talk) 09:32, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Sitar confusion
This article mentions that the sitar is confused with the setar due to the similarity of their names. It should also be mentioned that the Indian word sitar is derived from Persian setar (see the sitar article).

To avoid the "citation needed" on the statement that the setar IS confused with the sitar, I changed it to read that they SHOULD NOT be confused. There are dozens of warnings to this effect on the web, which indicates to me that people do confuse them, but this does get around the immediate citation needed. About the derivation of sitar, that doesn't seem well enough established to assert it here. Margin1522 (talk) 09:42, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Setar (lute) → Setar — setar is an old music (some thousands years old) music instrument used by many musicians in central and west asia and eastern europe. All other Setar related articles in Wikipedia do not hold the same connection to the name as this. The majority of the people in the world looking for Setar look for the instrument and not for a communication company in Aruba or a formula. —Keyhan H 16:02, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
