Description
Your idea
I write scores mainly for the persian tar.
I could not find any existing instrument that comes close to that sound.
Here is some info about the instrument: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haEhU1cWlrQ
and here is a good example of the sound (it has a bit extra reverb in the video, though): https://youtu.be/8DcrwHqPcFo?si=Y7ykCxqak9T6Lvpz
PS: I also noticed that other persian instruments are missing as well, like Dotar, Setar, Kamancheh or Ney.
Problem to be solved
I would be able to preview (or prehear) my compositions better
