(Garland Encyclopedia of World Music, Volume 5). Routledge; Har/Com edition (November 1999). ISBN 978-0-8240-4946-1〕 It was called ''Shatha Tantri Veena'' in ancient Sanskrit Texts. A primitive ancestor of this type of instruments was used in Mesopotamia (1600-911 BC) and Babylonia. ==Development== In ancient Sanskrit texts, it has been referred to as ''shatatantri vina'' (100-stringed vina). In India, the santoor was used as an accompaniment instrument to the folk music of Kashmir. It is played in a style of music known as the ''Sufiana Mausiqi''. The Sufi mystics used it as an accompaniment to their hymns. In Indian Santoor, the special-shaped mallets (''mezrab'') are lightweight and are held between the index and middle fingers. A typical santoor has two sets of bridges, providing a range of three octaves. The Indian santoor is more rectangular and can have more strings than the Persian counterpart, which generally has 72 strings. Musical instruments very similar to Santoor are traditionally used all over the world.
