Crossword puzzle on the topic of Russian folk musical instruments

Well done, friends! Here’s a new crossword puzzle, the topic is Russian folk musical instruments. Just like we ordered! There are 20 questions in total – in general, the standard number. The trickiness is average. Not to say that it is simple, not to say that it is complex. There will be hints (in the form of pictures)!

Almost all of the conceived words are names of Russian folk instruments (except for one, that is, 19 out of 20). One question is a little about something else – this is to “lift the veil of secrecy” and show the possibilities of expanding the topic (if anyone does their own crossword puzzle on this topic).

Now we can finally move on to our crossword puzzle

1. A percussion instrument that is a hoop with ringing metal plates. A favorite instrument of shamanic rituals, literally their “symbol”.
2. The instrument is plucked, three strings, rounded body – resembles half a pumpkin. Alexander Tsygankov plays this instrument.
3. A percussion instrument that consists of wooden plates mounted on a cord.
4. A wind instrument is a tube (for example, made of reed) with drilled holes. Shepherds and buffoons loved to play such flutes.
5. A ringed plucked string instrument played with two hands. In the old days, epics were sung to the accompaniment of this instrument.
6. An ancient Russian stringed musical instrument. The body is oblong, resembles half a melon, and the bow is shaped like a meadow. Buffoons played on it.
7. Another string instrument is of Italian origin, but has spread extremely widely outside its homeland, including in Russia. Outwardly, it somewhat resembles a lute (with fewer strings).
8. What kind of musical instrument will you get if you take a dried small pumpkin, make it hollow and leave a few peas inside?
9. A string instrument that everyone knows. Triangular “symbol” of Russia. It is believed that a bear can be taught to play this instrument.
10. This instrument is a wind instrument. Usually its mention is associated with Scotland, but even in Russia, buffoons have loved to play it since ancient times. It is an air cushion made of animal skin with several protruding tubes.
11. Just a pipe.

1. This instrument is similar to the Pan flute and is sometimes also called a pan flute. It looks like several pipe-flutes of different lengths and pitches tied together.
2. This kind of tool comes in handy when it’s time to eat porridge. Well, if you don’t have an appetite, then you can play.
3. A type of Russian accordion, not a button accordion or an accordion. The buttons are long and all white, there are no black ones. To the accompaniment of this instrument, people loved to perform ditties and funny songs.
4. What was the name of the guslar hero of the famous Novgorod epic?
5. A cool instrument that shamans love no less than a tambourine; it is a small metal or wooden round frame with a tongue in the middle. When playing, the instrument is pressed to the lips or teeth and the tongue is pulled, producing characteristic “northern” sounds.
6. Hunting musical instrument.
7. A musical instrument from the category of rattles. Ringing balls. Previously, a whole bunch of such balls was attached to a horse troika so that a ringing sound could be heard when approaching.
8. Another musical instrument that could be attached to three horses, but more often, decorated with a beautiful ribbon bow, it was hung around the necks of cows. It is an open metal cup with a movable tongue, which makes this miracle rattle.
9. Like any accordion, this instrument sounds when you stretch the bellows. Its buttons are all round – there are both black and white.
