Join us as we unveil our latest family member, DelTar, a remarkable instrument crafted by Mr. Ghorban Boostani. Building upon the foundations of the Iranian traditional Tar, DelTar sets out to conquer its limitations.
Mr. Boostani embarked on a journey of innovation, striving to address the challenges faced by Persian Tar musicians. Let's explore a few of his motivations behind this groundbreaking creation:
1. Enhanced Durability and Stability: Unlike Tar's vulnerable animal skin, DelTar features artificial skin, ensuring exceptional resilience against humidity. Musicians can now maintain precise tuning and achieve the desired sound, even in the most humid environments.
2. Modernized Fret System: In a bid to eliminate animal components and extend fret longevity, DelTar replaces Tar's natural gut frets with artificial frets.
3. Affordability and Accessibility: Traditional Tar's reliance on costly walnut and mulberry woods often limits its accessibility. With DelTar, Mr. Boostani introduces a more affordable alternative, without compromising on sound quality.
4. Seamless Amplification: DelTar embraces an open-back design, providing musicians with greater flexibility for installing pickups. Say goodbye to stage feedback - DelTar effortlessly integrates with various pickups, amplifying your performance like never before.
5. Precision Tuning: Thanks to its incorporation of guitar tuning pegs, DelTar empowers musicians with precise tuning accuracy.
