Custom Handmade 9-string gusli 2017

Exotic Russian folk instrument.

Gusli (Russian: гу́сли; IPA: [ˈguslʲɪ]) is the oldest Russian multi-string plucked instrument. Its exact history is unknown. It may have derived from a Byzantine form of the Greek kythare, which in turn derived from the ancient lyre. It has its relatives throughout the world - kantele in Finland, kannel in Estonia, kanklės and kokle in Lithuania and Latvia. Furthermore, we can find kanun in Arabic countries and the autoharp in the USA. It is also related to such ancient instruments as Chinese gu zheng which has a thousand-year history and its Japanese relative koto.

This harp not SOUVENIR ! This is completely a musical instrument with a beautiful sound.
