Music instruments edit

The most popular Luri musical instruments include Sorna, Dohol, Tâl (Luri kamancheh),[3] Tonbak (Tomak), and the common Iranian traditional instruments. Meanwhile, the Luri kamancheh is the only one that is fundamentally different from other Iranian music instruments.[4] The Lurs select the Mâhur as their basic musical scale to showcase the magnificence, grandeur and independence of their people.[5]
