Kamancheh



The kamancheh or kamānche (Persian: کمانچه - violinette, Azeri: kamança) is a Persian, Azeri and Armenian instrument similar to a violin. Played with a variable-tension bow, the kamancheh consists of a round body made from gourd or wood, which acts as a sound box, covered with a thin sheep or fishskin membrane.
