Object description

Tvåsträngad dutar.

"The name for various rypes of long-necked fretted lute of the Middle East and Central Asia, in Iran, the term dotar is used. The name means two strings but some kinds of dutar have more. The various types are thought to derive from the ancient Tanbur of Khorasan and are known after the ethnic group with which they are associated (Turkmen or Uzbek) or the region where they are found (Khorasan or Herat). Traditionally the dutar had silk or gut strings but these have been replaced by steel ones. On some kinds of dutar only the first string is stopped, the second acting as a drone; on the Uzbek and Turkmen dutar, the second is also stopped, usualy with the thumb.

Important to know about the information in the online collection database

Users of the database are warned that some records may include language or terminology dating from the 19th and 20th centuries which depicted people in ways that are obsolete and/or offensive. We are conscious that the inclusion of such terminology is problematic. As an institution, we have chosen to include this historic information in our database because it is part of the documentation for the object, photograph, or archival item. Where known, objects associated with, or photographs depicting, ritual or ceremonial activity have been hidden in the publicly accessible database as there may be restrictions relating to the age, gender, initiation and ceremonial status or clan of the person who may see them. The database may also include the names of deceased persons, which could cause sadness or distress, particularly to relatives of these people.
