The "dotar" is one of the traditional and famous musical instruments in Iran, particularly in the Khorasan region. This instrument is widely popular due to its pleasant and simple sound and is regarded as one of the cultural and artistic symbols of the area.
The name "dotar" means "two strings," and it typically has two strings stretched over a wooden body. The body of the instrument is usually made from local woods such as walnut or apricot. The sound of the dotar is produced by plucking the strings with the fingernail or a plectrum, and different playing techniques include both rapid and gentle strokes.
This instrument is particularly used in local gatherings, ceremonies, and cultural and religious celebrations, allowing for the narration of local memories and stories. The dotar has always served as one of the means of expressing the emotions and inner feelings of the people in this region, playing a significant role in the preservation and transmission of traditional music culture.
The melodies and tunes played on the dotar commonly encompass romantic and heroic themes, reflecting the everyday life, customs, and myths of the Khorasan people. In recent years, the dotar has attracted more attention, and efforts have been made to preserve and promote it.
