*LuteThe tembûr, a fretted string instrument, is a form of tanbūr.NewGrove2001|Tanbur|Scheherezade Qassim Hassan , R. Conway Morris, John Baily, Jean During|xxv|pp. 61-62] . It is associated with the Ahl-e Haqq religion in Kurdish areas and in the Lorestān Province of Iran. It is currently the only musical instrument used in Ahl-e Haqq rituals, and practitioners venerate the tembûr as a sacred object.NewGrove2001|Kurdish music|Shiloah, Amnon|xiv|p. 40]

The tembûr measures 80 cm in length and 16 cm in width. The resonator is pear-shaped and made of either a single piece or multiple carvels of mulberry wood. The neck is made of walnut wood and has fourteen frets, arranged in a semi-tempered chromatic scale. The tembûr employs two steel strings, and may be tuned in fifth, fourth, or second intervals. The higher string may be doubled with a third string.
