2 Persian Santoor's. The Santoor is an Indo-Persian trapezoid-shaped hammered dulcimer or string musical instrument made of walnut with seventy-two strings. It is the national musical instrument of Iran. It dates back to ancient time, Mesopotamia (1600-911 BC) and Babylonia. It's a Beautiful sounding instrument often sounding like a piano. The Gongs and Santoor are accompanied by 6-8 Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls. Each produces a pure note or tone, the purest there is.

About the bowls:

Crystals are fossilized water. When silica sand and water are combined under certain conditions of pressure, temperature and energy, crystals are formed. Quartz Crystal is known to amplify, transform, store, focus, and transfer energy; and is found in such common objects as microphones, radio, television, time pieces, laser tools, and computers. The human body is crystalline in structure, which leads to the crystals having a profound effect on our organs, tissues, cells, circulatory, endocrine, and metabolic systems.

About the gongs:

Gongs belong to the oldest and most important musical instruments of South East Asia. Their origins may be traced back to the second millennium B.C., but it is assumed that the gong is much older. In Chinese history, gongs are mentioned around 500 A.D., attributed to a nation called HSI YU between Tibet and Burma during the reign of Emperor Hsuan Wu.
