When Faramarz payvar for learning santour to the classroom of Ostad Abolhassan Saba went to the streets of Zahir ol-Islam, three years passed from the last reformer Sntornoazan of the previous generation, Master Habib Samai. Master Abolhassan Saba, who was a teenager in the course of his adolescence, was with Ali Akbar Shahi and with a variety of techniques with the family of the social media, after a long time and Rose, with Habib Samai, the technique of his best-of-the-former masters of his previous master, so with a lot of great efforts of improvisation He was writing his notes. Then, Master Saba attempted to Braftaden to a number of students from the teaching of the art of the arts near the artistic and aesthetic methods of Iranian music. At the same time, Faramarz Payvar, one of the most prominent disciples of Ostad Saba, and took advantage of his training until the year 1957.

Payvar in personal discipline was a special personality, the ones with whom he had been in and out of Iran in the years and abroad have pointed to his compassion and compassion to the members of the group and his attention and that members do not feel discrimination. This discipline, of course, has been transferred to his students, and some of the most prominent santour musicians are among the students of this name.
