Domra is a Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian folk stringed plucked musical instrument. Domra has a body of hemispherical shape. The sound of strings is made with the help of a mediator. A characteristic method of sound extraction is tremolo. There are two types of domra: a three-string domra with a quart system, traditionally used in Russia, and a four-string domra with a quintup system, which has become most widespread in Belarus and Ukraine. Domra is used for solo singing (domra small, prima) and as a part of ensembles and orchestras of Russian folk instruments.
Domra was widely used by buffoons in Russia in the 16th-17th centuries as a solo and ensemble instrument ("bass" domra), but since the XVII century, after the issuance of a number of church and state decrees (one of them, 1648, Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich "On the Correction of Manners and the destruction of superstition "), according to which the buffoonery was persecuted; With the disappearance of buffoons, Domra also disappeared.
