To know some a little more about "The Bulgarian Tamboura":
This popular instrument of the cordophones, of presumedly Turkish origin
or Perso-Arabic, the tamboura is widespread especially in the
south-east of Bulgaria and the area of the mountain of Pirine.
The tamboura has the shape of a pear. Its case is made of sycamore or
pear tree. The higher table of the case is bored of two or several
openings of resonance. The instrument has a length handle carrying a
narrow key and ankles to regulate the tension of the cords. Those are
carried by the rest and reserves by a piece of beech called "button".

Throughout the key, are laid out of the made hoops of metal string, of
bowels of sheep or linen thread. Their number depends on dimensions and
of the species of the tamboura and varies between 12 and 18. The strings
of the tamboura are out of metal, rolled up of a copper wire, which
makes the tone soft and tender. To produce sounds, one grips them using a
small plate of bark of griottier.
The Bulgarian tambouras has different size, with the number of strings,
the agreement and the positions varied. Nowadays, the tamboura it most
widespread is that with 8 cords, 18 hoops, with the chromatic agreement
and of a great extent. Formerly, the tamboura players were only
men and they were accompanied some while singing. In the contemporary
orchestras and sets, the tamboura generally creates the harmony and
marks the rate/rhythm. However, it makes it possible to the skilful
instrumentalists to interpret solos of remarkable technique and
virtuosity.
(The Informations from the 'tamboura' come
from the ' private College of foreign languages Alexandre Dumas' in
Bulgaria)
