Abstract: The Kam¨¡nche is a Persian bowed string instrument related to the bowed Rebab, an earliest spiked fiddle which is ancestor to most modern European and Asian bowed instruments. Kamanche is played in many different cultures and areas, such as Iran, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Turkey and etc. It is played vertically with a variable-tension bow in the manner of the European viol. On the other hand, the golden section (also known as Golden mean, divine proportion or ratio) is a ratio defined by the number phi (¦µ=1.618033988¡). It has been used in designing some musical instruments but for the first time, we used it to design a Persian musical instrument. The rational underlying this study was to use golden section in designing a Kamanche. Computer Aided Three-dimensional Interactive Application (CATIA) multi-platform CAD/CAM/CAE commercial software was used to draw the mentioned designs.
