wrapper,cover ئۇيغۇر چالغۇ ئاتالغۇلىرى Tash Tash is sometimes called Chaqchuk by some people．They are two pairs of oval-shaed stones．On each hand a pair of them are held and by hitting them to one another，certain musical tempo and sound are made．Tash has along history in Uighur music．The thickness of the stone is about 1．5 centimeter．And its diameter is between ten and six centimeters．When we play it，one of them is put on the palm and the other is held between fingers．We hit them gently to each other to make clear，melodic rhythm．
