Classification of National Folk Instruments in the Treatises of Central Asian Scientists

Abstract

It can be said that shashmakam was created as a product of the compositional traditions of bygone days, based on the rich experience of maqom musicians and singers. The great masterpieces of Shashmaqom, created by the folk genius, are of particular importance in the study of our national musical wealth. The seven musical instruments described by Darwish Ali Changi: tanbur, chang, oud, canon, rubob, kobiz, gidzhak, etc., are very common musical instruments in the 17th century.
