I think No.

Tars are very expensive since they take a long time to carve and make. If you're looking for one, this seems like a good deal for 350. I can't tell if it's professional quality from the pictures. It also looks a little undersized.

Dr. Tayfun do you mean no for it to be professional or for it to be worth buying? If you have more advices on how to chose a Tar please tell me . thanks

Peyman, thank you for your advices and advice, I will certainly buy it, since in my trips to Iran it's really hard to bring such instrument with you... especially when I go backpacking and for archaeology...

thanks both of you.

Well, the above Tar is absolutely not a pro one.
Nice time in Iran.
