Featured throughout Untold is the Hafez, an instrument designed by Nazeri himself, which is a contemporary variation on the traditional Setar (Iranian long-necked lute).
By adding two lower-pitched strings, Nazeri enriched the sound of the instrument (traditionally played in a monophonic fashion), allowing it to play both harmonic and melodic roles within its extended range.
