Issues of Improvement of Performance Skills in Dutor Musical Instrument

Abstract

Dutor is one of the traditional Uzbek percussion instruments. Dutor, which has been occupying a worthy place in the practice of folk performance for a long time, has now taken a place in the composition of all groups characteristic of the traditional style of performance. It was formed as a traditional solo instrument and became one of the leading instruments. Although the historical formation of the dutor and aspects of harmony with other instruments go back to the distant past, it has been described in musical treatises since the 15th century. “According to Farabi’s information, the Khurasan tanburi resembles a modern dutor with many of its features.”
