It is also found in Uzbekistan (dumbira, dumbrak), Bashkiria (dumbira). The sound of the dombra is quiet and soft. It is extracted by pinching, hitting with a brush or a pick. Folk storytellers, akyns, accompany their singing by playing the dombra. The performance of musical compositions on the dombra is a favorite form of artistic creativity of the Kazakhs. Folk songs are performed to the sounds of dombra, dombra is also used as a solo and ensemble instrument. The dombra has a pear-shaped body and a very long neck separated by frets. There are two strings. The strings are usually tuned in a quart or a fifth. One of the founders of Kazakh dombra music is Kurmangazy, whose composition "Adai" is still popular in Kazakhstan and beyond. In the early 50s of the XX century, archaeologists excavated in Central Asia, in the places where the ancient state of Khorezm was once located. Among other finds, they found several terracotta statuettes. The statuettes depicted musicians holding instruments in their hands. In these two-stringed plucked instruments, scientists recognized the ancestors of the dombra, which is still widespread in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan.
