Uyghur musical instruments. Sattar, Tanbur, Dutar.

Kazakhstan is a multinational country, many nationalities live on this land in peace and harmony. In addition to Kazakh culture, all ethnic groups have their own traditions, cultural values, music, songs, and of course musical instruments. Today I want to demonstrate to you the Uyghur musical instruments Sattar, Tambir, Dutar.

Sattar is a bowed musical instrument with 13 strings, made mainly of mulberry wood and lavishly decorated with Uyghur ornaments.

Tanbur is the longest of the Uyghur lutes at around 150cm, Tanbur has five metal strings. The melody is played on the double right-hand strings, using a metal pick on the index finger.

Dutar a long-necked plucked lute with two nylon (formerly silk) strings tuned a fifth or sometimes a fourth apart, with seventeen chromatic frets. Dutar is beautifully decorated, like all Uyghur lutes, with settings in horn or bone. Dutar can be found in almost every Uyghur home.
