The santoor is played while sitting in an ''[[asana]]'' called ''ardha-padmasana'' | The santoor is played while sitting in an ''[[asana]]'' called ''ardha-padmasana'' and placing it on the lap. While being played, the broad side is closer to the waist of the musician and the shorter side is away from the musician. It is played with a pair of light wooden mallets held with both hands. The santoor is a delicate instrument and sensitive to light strokes and glides. The strokes are played always on the strings either closer to the bridges or a little away from bridges: the styles result in different tones. Strokes by one hand can be muffled by the other hand by using the face of the palm to create variety. | ||
