Cymbals
Cymbals
There are various sorts similar to the ones found on Urth.
Czehar
Musical instrument consisting of a flat, oblong box, having 8 strings, it is held across the lap when sitting cross-legged and is played with a horn pick; similar to a Japaniese koto
Flute
Same as Urth flute and the players always keep them polished
Kalika
A six-stringed instrument; it, like the czehar, is flat-bridged and its strings are adjusted by means of small wooden cranks; on the other hand, it less resembles a low, flat box and suggests affinities to the banjo or guitar, though the sound box is hemispheric and the neck rather long; it, too, of course, like the czehar, is plucked
Kaska
A small hand drum
Notched stick
Played by sliding a polished tem-wood stick across its surface
Tabor
