	A few months back Shivkumar Sharma gave a concert here.  He remarked
that the closest "Western relative" to the santoor is the dulcimer.  But he
did not elaborate on the common origins of the two instruments.  BTW, the
santoor is a folk instrument from the Kashmir area.  People are free to
speculate from hereon.
