Game-Changing Instrument for Live Sets, Easy Tuning and Scale Adjustments

I just wanted to say that I have enjoyed the eSantoor very much. It’s been one of my favorite instruments to play and it’s a part of my live sets now. It’s made my life for having santur at my sets so much easier.

The best feature about it is the ability to change the scales and tunings so easily. It’s a game changer when one can play the santur with any sort of music. It’s awesome.

One thing that I wanted to ask is, why there’s no option to get a Mono output from the instrument? Most instruments that have two channel outs also provide a Mono out on one of the channels. I don’t see that on the eSantoor.

BTW, the customer service has been amazing.

Versatile Tuning and Great Night Playability

1- It is always tuned and i can create any Kook i want. The headset helps to play at night.
2- Yes. I like to see the damp feature with mezrab somehow added. Also if you can add damp all notes if the paler puts his hand on the santoor it would be great.
3- Very satisfied so far.
4- I do but I am not active.

Great Functionality

I enjoy keeping it out without concern of tuning it and being able to change the setting.
I don’t know if it’s possible to get rid of the tapping sound when we hit the sensors and improve the speakers loudness
I did not use the customer service so far but very happy with order processing and shipment.
