Bahari, a master on kamancheh at the age of 18, was invited to play in Ebrahim Mansouri Orchestra and from that time he was known as a well skilled Musician on Iranian music. After the arrival of foreign instruments and introducing the violin, kamancheh was rejected and so Bahari started to play violin too.
