Although the instrument is Persian in origin, you might also want to
try looking for the Santoor in the context of Indian classical music,
esp. music from the Kashmiri valley.
The late Pandit Uma Dutt Sharma dedicated much of his life to exploring
and expanding the role of the intrument, and http://www.santoor.com/ is
dedicated to his memory. The site is an excellent resource for
information on the Santoor.
