This paper develops a new method of onset detection for the Tar, a traditional Iranian musical instrument. The proposed method is based on both types of pitch and energy features and an adaptive peak picking algorithm is utilized for primary onset detection. An improved template matching method is used to detect fundamental frequencies and finally, onsets are tagged based on primary onsets and fundamental frequencies. This step is especially useful to detect the reaz, repeatedly played notes with the same frequency and short durations. For the evaluation of the method, a data set with predetermined onsets was produced and the results were compared with an energy based method explained in terms of F measure.
