Iran, with a vast range and ethnic diversity, includes a variety of musical instruments. Nations of different parts of Iran use musical instruments that are different in construction and audio theme.

Iranian musical instruments are not made in various audio volumes. Most of the Iranian musical instruments shine brightly in low-toned sounds, which are flexible with a singer.
