Sigudek, a bowed neck three-stringed musical instrument with hair strings. The soundboard of this instrument is made of a gunpowder metal box. The most common among the Komi were similar instruments with a hollowed body, which together with the neck and head was hewn from a single piece of soft wood - aspen, alder, fir, pine. Hunters played such instruments in winter evenings during hunting. Abstract by A.A. Chuvyurov
