The kobza (Ukrainian: кобза), also called bandura (Ukrainian: бандура) is a Ukrainian folk music instrument[1] of the lute family (Hornbostel-Sachs classification number 321.321-5+6), a relative of the Central European mandora. The term kobza however, has also been applied to a number of other Eastern European instruments distinct from the Ukrainian kobza.[2]
