Answer:

Yes, Santoor is a musical instrument.

Explanation:

The Santoor is used in the folk music of Jammu and Kashmir.The Indian Santoor instrument is a trapezoid-shaped hammered dulcimer. The Santoor has traditionally been used in the music of the Kashmir valley as an accompaniment to Sufi music. It was brought into the classical tradition by Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, who brought it into Hindustani classical traditions.  In Jammu and Kashmir during the 1950s, he invented the Santoor for North Indian classical tradition at the urging of his father. Most notably, he increased the number of bridges and strings, making it more appropriate for playing ragas.The Santoor’s name comes from the name Shata- tantric, meaning a Veena of hundred strings. It consists of a hollow box with twenty five bridges, each having four strings resting on it. It is played with the help of two wooden mallets known as Mezrabs.  The Santoor is a predecessor of the piano because it is based on the same principle of a mallet striking metal strings.

Hope it helps.
