Japanese: セタール - せたーる(英語表記)setār ペルシア語
Setar (English spelling) setār Persian

A plucked string instrument of the Iranian lute family. "Se" means the number "three" and "tar" means "string". It has a small, bowl-shaped resonating body with a soundboard and a long, slender neck with 25 to 27 movable frets wound with gut strings. Since the mid-19th century, four metal strings have been added, but one is a drone string, and the original three-stringed character is maintained. The basic tuning is C 3 -C 4 -G 3 -C 4. It is used for classical music solos and song accompaniment, and is characterized by a technique of plucking the strings directly with the fingernails by finely vibrating the index finger of the right hand, or by striking or plucking the strings on the neck with the fingers of the left hand, which produces extremely subtle and colorful decorative rhythmic patterns.

Japanese:

イランのリュート属撥弦(はつげん)楽器。「セ」は数字の「三」を、「タール」は「弦」を意味する。響板を張った椀(わん)型の小さな共鳴胴と細長い棹(さお)をもち、棹には、25~27か所にガット弦を巻いた可動フレットがある。19世紀中期以降、4本の金属弦が張られるようになったが、1本はドローン弦で、本来の三弦の性格は保たれている。調弦はC3―C4―G3―C4が基本である。古典音楽の独奏や歌の伴奏に用いられ、右手人差し指を細かく振動させて爪(つめ)でじかに弦をはじく奏法や、左手指で棹上の弦をたたいたりはじいたりする技法が特徴的で、これによりきわめて微細かつ多彩な装飾的リズムパターンが生み出される。
