[edit] Keivan Saket
Hi all, I removed "Keivan Saket" from the most notable setar players list, because first, he is mostly a tar player, and second, I don't believe he can make it to a list like this (top ten?!) by any means. I do enjoy his art and believe he is a good musician, but I believe should not be listed. Thanks, MrMo 06:12, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sitar confusion
This article mentions that the sitar is confused with the setar due to the similarity of their names. It should also be mentioned that the Indian word sitar is derived from Persian setar (see the sitar article).

The result of the proposal was move. Andrewa 01:56, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Setar (lute) → Setar — setar is an old music (some thousands years old) music instrument used by many musicians in central and west asia and eastern europe. All other Setar related articles in Wikipedia do not hold the same connection to the name as this. The majority of the people in the world looking for Setar look for the instrument and not for a communication company in Aruba or a formula. —Keyhan H 16:02, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
