I have added some more information to this page and will add a bit more about the Iranian Tar. This will include a picture too. I can also add some information about the Azarbaijani Tar. But I would prefer and welcome if people more familiar with those countries would contribute to this article. Shabdiz 11:13, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Turkic Rebab origins

However, it is now widely accepted that the tar is derived the Turkick (Central Asian) "rebab".

Just curious, what sources do you have to back up this claim? If you do have references, that would be great to add to the article. --jonsafari 21:34, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of Armenia

I have restored this article to the version that included Armenia. If anyone wants to remove Armenia, they have to offer proof. Otherwise I suspect Azerbaijani nationalists behind those edits or just simple mistakes. Shabdiz 11:02, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
