Their Traditional Central Russian
Musical Instruments

Here are the Instruments played by the Menestrels during their tours with a brief history of each.
( A typical music score and example of the sound for each one will be added when ready.)
Some of the instruments can be recognised as not of Russian origin such as the 'Guitar', 'Accordeon' and 'Ocarina' though the 'Rattle', 'Tambourine' and 'Spoons' have mixed origins.
