The dombra

The dombra is a beautiful string instrument. It is called the queen of Kazakh instruments. It's got peer shaped wooden body with a long neck and two strings. Traditionally the strings were made from sinew but today nylon ones are used. The dombra is an instrument with a long history. Many Kazakh families have at least one person who can play it. It is usually played on it's own or used to accompany traditional songs. It sounds great as part of a band, too. Some bands even use electric dombras to create music. ​
