reesetee Also kamencheh, kam�?nche, kam�?ncha or qyamancha; a Persian instrument related to the violin that is played with a variable-tension bow. It consists of a round body made from gourd or wood that acts as a sound box; it's covered with a thin sheepskin or fish-skin membrane. Traditional kamanchehs have three silk strings, although modern ones have four metal strings. A spike at the bottom of the instrument supports the kamancheh while it is being played. It is widely played in classical Mugham music of Iran, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan, with slight variations in structure. Mar 19, 2008
