Dotar Structure

As mentioned above, the dotar instrument is a wound string instrument and consists of three main parts: the handle, the strings, and the resonant bowl. The resonant bowl is pear-shaped. The body is made of a combination of lime, apricot, or walnut wood. The threads are made of silk. The length of the handle is about 60 cm. They do not use Mezrab to play the dotar and it is played with nails. In some parts of the country including northern Khorasan cities such as Quchan, Bojnourd, Shirvan, Esfarayen, Farouj, Dargaz, Ashkhaneh, southern and eastern cities of Khorasan such as Torbat Jam, Taybad, Torbat Heydariyeh, Neishabour, Ferdows, Birjand, Bajestan, Bardaskan, Ghaenat, Kashmar, Bakhrez, Khaf, Sarakhs, Gonabad and Sabzevar and the Turkmen cities of Golestan province and Aliabad Katoul and cities of Mazandaran province, Dotar has more fans and is used in the local music of these areas.

The best dotar training class

If you are interested in learning this good-sounding instrument, you have two options: either attend face-to-face classes or take online classes. Face-to-face classes are an older way of teaching. To attend these classes, you must first find a suitable educational institution in your area. This can limit you, especially if you live in a small town. The chosen class should also be close to where you live because it affects the cost and time of travel. In fact, this commute can be considered the main problem of attending classes in person. Attendance classes have very little flexibility. Class hours are limited and due to the conditions of their classes, the lessons can be forgotten. In addition, you may be deprived of education if you are unable to attend classes or change your place of residence for any reason. But there is a simple solution to this problem, which we will explain in more detail below.

Buying the right instrument

Buying an instrument is difficult, especially when you are new. You need the opinion of experts in this field so as not to incur financial losses. Like any other instrument, Dotar has different brands such as Domehr, Akbari, Heydari, etc., and its price can vary depending on the body material and the manufacturer. In addition, the dotar instrument can have a different structure depending on the region. For example, there are differences between the Turkmen dotar and the Khorasan dotar that must be considered.
