Tar and Chonguri are two incredibly beautiful eastern string instruments. United, they form the perfect couple for our new ORIGINS VOL. 7 ethnic string plugin. Both amazingly complement each other’s tonal colors and allow a huge variety of timbres.
THE INSTRUMENTS
The Tar’s steel strings are plucked with a plectrum, resulting in a very pure and definite sound. Marvelously reflecting the legendary Persian culture, where the Tar has been in existence for hundreds of years.
The Chonguri with its tender silk strings however adds warmth, depth and richness to their joint timbre. An ode to the enchanting Georgian mountain landscapes, where the instrument originates from.
Played together they merge into a completely new and powerful instrument. ORIGINS VOL. 7: TAR & CHONGURI unites the best of both worlds right at your fingertips. Take your listeners on an exciting and manifold journey to the East.
