Se tar is one of the most beautiful and authentic Iranian instruments. This beautiful instrument is very sensitive, the more we know about the maintenance conditions of three strings, the better we can make its sound last or even better. If the maintenance conditions of the three strings are not properly observed, it will suffer problems such as emptying of the stitch too soon, as well as rotting of the plate and bowl wood.
Optimized Maintenance Conditions
One of the ideal conditions for three-stringed instruments is the mild spring weather. Scattered and not continuous spring rains in the short term will increase the humidity level in the region, and on the other hand, the presence of scattered clouds and continuous wind and air currents will lead to an unstable level of humidity and maintain balanced conditions. As a result of instruments such as tar, which have the main problem of skin loss in the cold or hot seasons of the year, the spring season is very ideal.
maintenance of the instrument in the special cover
Always keep your instrument in a special cover after playing and practicing. During Nowruz holidays, many people take the instrument with them on their travels to avoid laziness and do daily exercises. Although it is good not to forget to practice, you must make sure to carry the instrument properly in a special cover that is shockproof and strong. Placing the instrument next to containers and other devices without a protective cover will lead to damage to your instrument. /p>
In the dry and desert areas of Iran, weather conditions will not harm your instrument, but if you plan to travel to the northern regions of the country that have water and the weather is humid and rainy, taking any instrument, especially a three-stringed instrument, will cause serious injuries due to the physics of the wooden skin. Therefore, you should follow the important recommendations in maintaining the three strings in order to maintain its sound quality. Of course, sometimes not having the instrument with you and keeping it properly at home is better than taking the instrument and damaging it as a result.
hanging instrument in the wall, never !!!
Avoid hanging the instrument in an inappropriate or unbalanced way on the wall, and if necessary, use a suitable handle for holding the wall. When hanging the instrument, you should pay attention to conditions such as humidity, not being exposed to the sun, not being exposed to the wind of the air conditioner or the heat of heating appliances, etc.
Preparation of Complete Cover
Preparing a suitable cover and case such as fiberglass prevents damage to the instrument.
Temperature
The moderate and moderate temperature is very suitable for keeping three threads. The adverse effect of cold and heat reduces efficiency, durability and longevity. When the temperature suddenly changes, such as when you move the instrument from a cold temperature to a warm environment, the instrument should be given the opportunity to adapt to the new temperature.
lack of contact with the page
As a result of hitting the wire mallet on the part you hit "on the screen", it causes abrasion. Abrasion is due to the use of a mallet because the nail is not sharp enough to scratch the screen. Try as much as possible so that the bat does not hit the screen. But in case of scratches, it is better to take the instrument to a master to repair it with sandpaper and alcohol varnish.
put the instrument on your side while traveling
When traveling, if you are traveling by bus, plane, or train, do not put the instrument in the cargo area. Because it causes damage and injury to it. Treat your instrument like a kind friend and take care of it carefully while traveling.
