Stepan Shcherbak - Ukrainian Bandura player, Saint Sophia Cathedral, Kiev Oct 2010

Stepan Shcherbak.

Bandura (Ukrainian: банду́ра) refers to a Ukrainian plucked string folk instrument. It combines elements of a box zither and lute, as well as its lute-like predecessor, the kobza.

The term is also occasionally used by when referring to a number of other Eastern European string instruments such as the hurdy gurdy and the 5 string guitar (commonly referred to by the diminutive bandurka).

Musicians who play the bandura are referred to as bandurists. Some traditional bandura players, often blind, were referred to as kobzars.
