Whoops. Sorry about that! I know how annoying it can be when people assume, as I did.

There was a very impressive Iranian santur player attached to the Music dept. at Sheffield University for a while, and I had the opportunity of hearing him play a few times. He did a concert with Pauline Cato the Northumbrian piper on one occasion; unfortunately I missed that. A combination of the two instruments would have been very interesting indeed.
