The instrument lacks the modern satar's sympathetic strings, the 12 frets on the soundboard, and the bridge placed at an angle, with the main strings raised separately from the sympathetic strings. It does have the satar's tanbur or setar-like shape and length. It is also 3-stringed, the original meaning of setar. 1860s, Turkestan
