people call it Hushtar.Its main structure is made of wood like Chaplima Rawab.It has clear and loud sound.
It is about 50 centimeters long.Like the round-headed Ghirjek,it has four strings and it is adjusted like
Ghirjek.Qushtar was developed on the basis of ancient Ghirjek and played in the same way as Ghirjek.
This kind of Qushtar is called high tone Qushtar in the orchestra.In recent years,a relatively bigger
middle tone Qushtar has been made and used in the orchestras.Its adjustments are the same as the violin,
