The Gadulka (
Bulgarian: Гъдулка) is a folk
Bulgarian string musical instrument played with a
bow.There are two types of gadulkas; the most common has three or sometimes four main strings, with many lesser strings, and a smaller variant in the
Dobruja region has only the three main strings. In most variants, the lesser strings are placed underneath the main strings as
sympathetic strings. The main strings touched with the tips of the fingers or the fingernails and not pressed all the way down to the neck of the instrument. The gadulka is played vertically, and the bow held horizontally with the hair facing the player.
