"Some of the musical instruments of other people are similar, either on their sound or look, to the Uzbek ones. For instance, where there was a ghijjak (a violin-alike national stringed musical instrument) in the East then the violin did emerge in the West. What could you tell in this regard?

“Each nation has its own national musical instruments and each and every of such instruments is unique on their own"

من الواضح أنهم يتكلمون عن هذه الآلة بصفتها آلة خاص بهم أو على الأقل نشأت في بلادهم

أعرف أن الاسم غريب قليلا لكن ربما لو أنها نشات في فرنسا - وبالتالي كانت ترجمتها : الكمان الفرنسي - لتم استساغها بشكل أكبر ، لا أدري لماذا لا يستسيغ الناس الكلمات من مثل : الكمان الأوزباكستاني
(:

بالطبع لديك الخيار الآخر وهو ما تفضلت به الزميلة ليليان

A violin and fiddle are almost identical types of musical instruments. The main difference is the type of music played-a violin plays more classical tunes and a fiddle plays mainly folk music. A spike fiddle is a variation of the fiddle that got its name because its neck "spikes" through the body of the fiddle and sticks out the other side.
