Features of the Ghaychak instrument
The instrument has a very strange and different appearance and it can be considered as a combination of different instruments. In fact, the Ghaychaks are very similar in appearance to the violin, cello, and even the kamancheh!! This instrument is a stringed instrument that is played with a bow. When you want to play it you must hold it like kamancheh or cello. although It is much smaller in size than a cello, they are similar in terms of how to play and hold the instrument. However, one of the types of this instrument called the Bass Ghaychak is comparable to the cello in terms of size. The Ghaychak consists of four general parts: the resonant bowl, the handle, the strings, and the bow. The resonant bowl is very similar to the violin and is pear-shaped (inverted pear means the upper part is larger than the lower part) with the difference that, unlike the flat back of the violin, the back of the resonant bowl in Ghaychak has an arc and hollow shape. The bowl is made of walnut or mulberry tree. The string is halfway up the resonant bowl and the other half is on top of it. The number of strings, like a violin, is four and they are made of metal. The bow, like the violin bow, is made of horse hair. In general, the length of the instrument is about 50 cm. Mohammad Zangshahi, Ali Mohammad Baluch, Hossein Farhadpour, Rahmatollah Badiei, Parvin Saleh, and Ardeshir Kamkar are among the most famous Iranian Ghaychak players.
