78 岁的古拉姆·穆罕默德·扎兹 （Ghulam Mohammad Zaz） 是制作克什米尔桑图尔琴的八代人中的最后一位，这是一种面临衰落但适度复兴的传统乐器。 Ghulam Mohammad Zaz, 78, is the last of eight generations crafting the Kashmiri santoor, a traditional instrument facing decline but seeing modest revival.

七十八岁的古拉姆·穆罕默德·扎兹是八代人中最后一个手工制作克什米尔圣陀罗的音乐家, In Srinagar, 78-year-old Ghulam Mohammad Zaz is the last of eight generations to handcraft the Kashmiri santoor, a hundred-stringed zither central to the region’s musical heritage. 曾经由多个家庭成员制作的这一仪器在神秘的Sufiana Musiqi中使用,在音乐家Shivkumar Sharma的流行下,由于口味的改变和学徒的缺乏而下降。 Once made by multiple family members, the instrument—used in mystical Sufiana musiqi and popularized by musician Shivkumar Sharma—faces decline due to shifting tastes and a lack of apprentices. Zaz以大约5万卢比的价格出售每个疗养院, 需求来自印度、欧洲及中东。 Zaz sells each santoor for about 50,000 rupees, with demand from India, Europe, and the Middle East. 虽然该地区的政治紧张使文化保护复杂化, 随着年轻的克什米尔人重新发现传统音乐, Though political tensions in the region complicate cultural preservation, a modest revival is underway as younger Kashmiris rediscover traditional music. 桑图尔仍然是持久文化认同的有力象征。 The santoor remains a powerful symbol of enduring cultural identity.
