Davoud Shirazi  was born in 1983 in Shiraz, Iran. He found his passion for music and art, so got graduated from the University of Shiraz in music and selected the Iranian musical instrument Kamancheh and Santoor for his professional musical instrument.

After graduation from university, he came to Tehran with his friend Ali Zand Vakili (Iranian singer) and tried to make his ideas in music. He continued learning santoor playing in Meastro Ardavan Kamkar's class.

Davoud's most important invention is Ravankook which is a new tuning system for Iranian santoor. Ravankook makes it very convenient and stable to tune a Persian santour.

Many of the santoor players and makers accepted and used his santoor tuning system for their instruments.
