Kemena. It is made of one piece of javorous wood, carved to the wider part, and then covered with a thin flower from spruce. The gool is handmade in a mild semicircular form. There are three wires, and the melody is carried out on the first, it is very rarely covered by the third, and the mean constantly borts empty, which is why it belongs to the boron of Kemenje Dun group of musical instruments. The player holds him in front of a vertical position, most often in a sitting position, lean on his lap. It is unique in that the tones are produced by touching the nail wire, and not with the meat part of the top of the fingers, as is common in the whistle of the violin and other string instruments.
