At the onset of your recording session, our seasoned Persian Santur players are primed and prepared to dive right into recording your music.

Typically, the Santur player will lay down one full take of the song, ensuring it aligns with your vision. Following this, you're encouraged to offer feedback and request adjustments to tailor the recording to your liking. There's room for spontaneity too; you might discover unexpected elements that resonate with you, prompting a creative shift in the session. Remarkably efficient, our session Persian Santur players can typically deliver 3-4 full takes on a 4-minute song within our standardized 35-minute session format, including punch-ins and overdubs. This level of productivity, coupled with exceptional quality, consistently impresses both our new and loyal subscribers alike.
