Instruments used in Balkan folk music
We are offering here basic descriptions and video examples of the instruments that are taught and played at the Balkan Music & Dance Workshops. As you browse these pages, be aware that there many different names for any given instrument depending upon language and region.
What you see is just a first effort. We will be updating this information to create a dictionary of as many instruments that we can account for that are used in Balkan music. Help from our community is needed with this huge undertaking.
Write to us with any information and corrections, or suggestions for images, music and video clips. All help is welcome!
