UZBEK MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS AND THEIR TYPES

Nowadays, only a small percentage of our people understand classical music, maqoms, and the performance of folk instruments in ensembles. There is a lack of knowledge about the history of our national instruments and their creation. Our youth and even adults do not know the names of our national instruments. For example, they refer to the Kashgar rubab as “dutor.” Sometimes we hear remarks like “Stop playing the ting-ring,” which shows a lack of understanding. Even schoolchildren are unaware of the names of our national instruments, such as the chang, ud, gijjak, doyra, flute, tanbur, rubab, qanun, and others, or of the famous performers associated with these instruments.Young people are more familiar with instruments like the guitar, electric organ, clarinet, accordion, and percussion instruments, rather than our traditional national instruments
