Dombyra gains popularity in Kazakhstan

Classics, modern hits, and, of course, traditional kuis. Just like in ancient times, the dombyra remains highly sought after. It continues to captivate audiences with its deep and unique sound. Musicians say this sound is easy to produce and blends well with any music genre. The key is to choose the right instrument, according to the head of the dombyra club. And here, quality comes to the forefront.

«There are many ways to choose a dombyra. When selecting a musical instrument, one should pay attention to its sound quality, clarity, richness, and brightness. The dombyra should fully meet your expectations,» said the head of the dombyra club Kemenger Kenzheshev.

Another way to choose an instrument is to seek advice from an expert, or better yet, to purchase one directly from the master, as each dombyra has its own character and soul.

«I would like children learning to play the dombyra to have a high-quality instrument in their hands. Ideally, of course, every home should have a dombyra,» said master craftsman of national instruments Nurzhan Dilmanov.

The dombyra is still more than just a musical instrument - it is a sacred symbol of the people and one of the country’s main brands.
