The Five Musical Instruments from Around the World
1. Bandura Instrument:
Bandura is the hybrid instrument of Ukraine, and this particular instrument is combined of a lute and box zither shape. Bandura had derived from the Arabic and Persian’s Pandura and the Kipchak and Polovtsian’s Kobuz. During the middle ages, the Bandura became prominently used in the courts of Eastern Europe, and it was used as background to songs and dances. Moreover, It was also very popular among the Ukrainian professional musicians called the Kobzari (Wandering folk bards who performed a large repertoire of epic-historical, religious, and folk songs while playing a kobza or bandura). Bandura is an instrument that has a short neck, a shallow oval shape (wooden material), and a sound hole is placed on the upper soundtable.

5. Bandurria or Mandurria Instrument: Bandurria is a plucked lute, and this instrument is a lute of Spain and parts of countries of Latin America. Bandurria has a shape and look almost similar to the Guitar from nowadays. Bandurria players hold the instrument upright on their lap when they are playing it. The name Bandurria goes back to the 14th century, and this particular instrument has a pear shaped body with deep ribs (around 7.5 cm or 3’’), flat back, fretted neck, and a large peg-holder with pegs projecting from the rear. Bandurria was primarily used in Spanish folk music, but it also found in countries that were colonized under Spain.
