Naghareh:
It is a double-sided drum group that uses a drumstick to play it. This instrument is one of the local instruments of Mazandaran that is played with Sorena.

The shape of the bowl is oval and conical, with the bottom of the bowl closed and the skin peeled off, but the sides of the skin are pierced, and a rope made of the cow's intestine passes through the holes to connect the skin to the body. To play the Naghareh, a wooden drumstick is about 25 to 27 cm. The wood used to play the larger drum is about half a centimeter thicker than the small drum stick. The diameter of the percussion stick is between one and one and a half centimeters. The drum stick is also made of frankincense or wild willow. boar skin has been used for Naqara skin since ancient times, and today cow skin is used. To tie the skin to the drum, the cow's intestines are used as a rope to tie around the instrument. Due to the difference in volume between the two Nagareh, the resonance of their sounds is different. Playing technique: Nagareh is placed on the ground or under the player's armpit while playing, which is thought to have been hung from the player's shoulder with a belt or strap in the past. Due to its small size, Nagareh can perform various techniques and is relatively difficult. Used items: It is played with Sorena at weddings and celebrations. It is also used in Naqareh Khaneh and Mazandaran wrestling ceremonies along with one or two Sorena.
