Tar (Lute) - For other uses of this term, including another kind of musical instrument, see tar (disambiguation).
A tar is a long-necked, waisted lute found in Azerbaijan, Persia, Georgia, Armenia and other areas near the Caucasus Region. The word تار tar itself means string in Persian. This is the root of the name "guitar" as well as more exotic instruments like the sitar. The place of origin of the tar cannot be confirmed. Armenians, Iranians, and Azerbaijanians will all commonly argue that their respective cultures invented it. External links
