Santoor Pieces in Indian Songs...

Santoor is a very ancient instrument of India. The original name of this instrument was Shata-tantri Veena which in Sanskrit language means a Veena of 100 Strings. Today, when we say Veena, it means a specific instrument but in ancient times Veena was a common word for different kinds of string instruments. The first string instrument was called Pinaki-Veena. The idea to create this instrument came from the Bow & Arrow when Arrow was released it created a sound out of that idea somebody created a musical instrument and named it Pinaki Veena. Pinak in Sanskrit language means the Bow and the idea to create this instrument came from the Bow & Arrow that is why it was named Pinaki Veena. In the Western Countries this instrument is called the Harp and in India we have got a miniature form of the same instrument known as “Swarmandal” which many vocalists these days use while singing. After Pinaki Veena, in Ancient India, we had different kinds of Veenas like Baan Veena, Katyayani Veena, Rudra Veena, Saraswati Veena, Tumbru Veena, & Shata-tantri Veena.
