The Qanun is the Persian zither. It is a flat trapezoidal wooden box, with twenty-four strings in triple fastened at its rectangular side on one end and to pegs on the oblique side on the other. The player to make slight changes in pitch manipulates small levels lying below each course of strings. The strings are plucked with two horn plectra, one on each index finger. It is basically a zither with a narrow trapezoidal soundboard. Silk strings ( Sim ) are stretched over a single bridge poised on fish-skins ( Pust ) on one end, attached to tuning pegs at the other end.
