The kenareh has a pear-shaped body and a long neck, typically made of walnut or other hardwoods, with a soundboard made of spruce or other softwoods. It has four or five strings, which are plucked with a plectrum, and is typically played while seated.

The kenareh has a rich history in Persian music and culture, and is considered an important instrument in the traditional Persian musical repertoire. It is often used in classical music ensembles, as well as in folk music and popular music. The kenareh is also known for its versatility, and can be used to play a wide range of musical styles and genres, from classical and folk to contemporary and pop.
