The beautiful sounds pattern commonly referred to as music requires the art of mastering the incorporation of various instruments to make it more lively and lovely. Multiple categories of devices are associated with the creation of a harmonious melody within the art. However, there are those instruments that traditionally have been known for their effectiveness in passing intended messages in music. Narrowing down to a single apparatus, the context will be exploring the santoor instrument that is linked with Indian culture and originality. Santoor, a musical instrument that has found its way to the music arena, is played using several hammers made of light wood. The apparatus takes a trapezoidal shape in nature. The overall shape, performing methods, as well as its tuning methods, follow the same channel as the Persian santur and the American dulcimer. Santoor’s basis can be traced back to similar instruments that are played through striking of cords by use of a hammer, dated back to the ancient Persians located at the Middle East of India.
