In Iran, there are few instruments which have mythological aspects. They are respected, and still, they carry symbols with them. These are Temira Nuban (Hormozgan), Horn (Bushehr), Rahmani Timbani (Hormozgan and Baluchistan), and Kermanshah Tambour.

Tambour is the oldest of the plectrum string instruments and it’s the first instrument which has a long handle with a kegler and a tendon. Tambour has a mystical and epic personality and it is also used to play epic pieces. It has found different names and shapes throughout the course of its historical and cultural journey through different places and regions.
