Considering the time for woodpreparation ( = about two yearsin waterbath ) and the durationof soundbox carving, the effortsin Tarlute making is somewhatrewarded by an excellent
accoustic performance and asignificant commercial value inIran.
The playing technic - in Radifclassical repertoire andaccompaniement of someTasnif - is also held as difficult .So the instrument is highly
appreciated and much moreconsidered than Setar lute.
