Ukrainian instrument

bandura The bandura is the instrument that best embodies the voice and soul of Ukraine. From a musical perspective, the bandura unifies acoustic principles of both the lute and the harp. This produces a sound that is emphatic and gentle, resembling that of a harpsichord, but with a wide range of dynamics and tonal control.

The modern bandura has between 20 and 65 strings and is tuned like a piano rather than a guitar. More info on
