(I have copied the following text from Talk:Zār.) It appears that most or all of this information was taken from the egyptmusic.org website [1]. I think it was sufficiently rewritten so that it isn't a copyvio, but I think it needs further work in terms of tone, style, verification etc. Also, there is a whole lot of confusion resulting from the seeming interchangeability of the terms tanbūra, tamboura, tanbur etc. The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians identifies the instrument as a tanbūra so I've gone with that. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 13:42, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
