Kokle | Kokle is the national instrument of Latvia. It is traditionally played by women and girls. It's a triangular wooden box on legs with up to 33 metal strings, which the musicians pluck. It is unique to Latvia, and although neighbouring countries do have similar instruments - the Finnish kantele and Lithuanian kankle for example - Latvians say nothing sounds quite like the kokle. |
