Violin/FiddleKemane (Republic of Macedonia)Republic of Macedonia Wood and horse hair
Similar to the violin or viola, the kemane name may have come from the name of the Turkish "kemence," meaning fiddle. It has three strings and is mostly seen in eastern Macedonia and the region of Osogovo. In the northern parts of Macedonia, it is called a gusla. This folk instrument is usually handmade and accompanies dancing and singing.
