Its name comes from the [[Persian language|Persian]] word for &quot;two strings&quot;, دو تار ''dotār'' (&lt; دو ''do'' &quot;two&quot;, تار ''tār'' &quot;string&quot;), although the [[Herat]]i dutar of [[Afghanistan]] has fourteen strings. When played, the strings are usually plucked by the [[Uyghur people|Uyghurs]] of Western China and strummed and plucked by the [[Tājik people|Tajiks]], [[Turkmen people|Turkmen]], [[Uzbeks]]. Related instruments include the [[Kazakhstan|Kazakh]] [[dombra]]. The Dutar is also an important instrument among the [[Kurds of Khorasan]] amongst whom Haj Ghorban Soleimani of [[Quchan]] was a noted virtuoso. In [[Northern Kurdish|Kormanji]] one who plays the dutar is known as a bakci ('''bakhshi'''), while in [[Azerbaijani language|Azeri]] the term is [[Ashik|ashiq]]. '''Khorasan bakhshi music''' is recognized on the [[Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity]].<br /> <br /> At the time of the Dutar's humble origins in the 15th century as a [[shepherd]]'s instrument its strings were made from [[Catgut|gut]]. However, with the opening up of the [[Silk Road]], catgut gave way to strings made from twisted [[silk]] imported from [[China]]. To this day some instruments still feature silk strings, although [[nylon]] strings are also commonly used.<br /> <br /> The dutar has a warm, dulcet tone. Typical sizes for the pear-shaped instrument range from one to two meters.<br /> <br /> ==Notable players==<br /> *[[Turgun Alimatov]] (1922–2008)<br /> *[[Abdurahim Hamidov]] (1952–2013)<br /> *[[Haj Ghorban Soleimani]]<br /> *Sultan Reza Bakci (Geliani) ([[Khorasani]]{{dn|date=January 2017}})<br /> *Haj Mohammad Hossein Yeganeh ([[Khorasani]]{{dn|date=January 2017}})<br /> *Saied Tehranizadeh {{dn|date=January 2017}})<br /> *Abd Allah Amini ([[Khorasani]]{{dn|date=January 2017}})<br /> *Zolfaghar Askarian ([[Khorasani]]{{dn|date=January 2017}})<br /> *Gholam Ali Poor Ataa ([[Khorasani]]{{dn|date=January 2017}})<br /> *Aliia Gholi Yeganeh ([[Turkmen people|Turkmen]])<br /> *Abdurehim Heyit ([[Uyghur people|Uyghur]])<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {{see also|Lute#History and evolution of the lute}}<br /> *[[Shashmaqam]]<br /> *[[Turgun Alimatov]]<br /> *[[Music of Iran]]<br /> *[[Music of Afghanistan]]<br /> *[[Music of Tajikistan]]<br /> *[[Music of Turkmenistan]]<br /> *[[Music of Central Asia]]<br /> *[[Dotara]]<br /> *[[Bağlama]]<br /> *[[Çiftelia]]<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> {{commons cat|Dutâr}}<br /> *[http://tmhits.com/music/dutar-sazlary-73 Listen famous Dutar tunes]<br /> *[http://www.nay-nava.blogfa.com Encyclopedia of Persian Music Instruments]<br /> *[http://www.grahamflett.com/dutar-music-of-turkmenistan/ Dutar Music of Turkmenistan (ethnomusicology essay by Graham Flett, 2001)]<br /> *[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrfzkTutMKo Youtube video of dutar music]<br /> *[http://picture.yatego.com/images/42e7774e343631.0/dotar_A.jpg Picture of a Dutar]<br /> <br /> {{UNESCO Oral and Intangible music}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Iranian musical instruments]]<br /> [[Category:Necked bowl lutes]]<br /> [[Category:Central Asian music]]<br /> [[Category:Uyghur musical instruments]]<br /> [[Category:Kazakhstani musical instruments]]<br /> [[Category:Uzbekistani musical instruments]]<br /> [[Category:Kyrgyz musical instruments]]<br /> [[Category:Afghan musical instruments]]<br /> [[Category:Tajik musical instruments]]<br /> [[Category:Turkmen musical instruments]]<br /> [[Category:Persian words and phrases]]</div>
