Veratoors
Veratoors are a type of musical instrument that combines elements of both a violin and a guitar. They are typically played with a bow, similar to a violin, but have a larger body and longer neck, similar to a guitar. The strings are usually tuned to the same pitch as a guitar, allowing for a wider range of notes and chords. Veratoors are often used in folk, classical, and experimental music genres, and are known for their unique sound and versatility. They require a high level of skill to play, as the player must coordinate the bowing technique with the fretting and strumming techniques used on a guitar. Veratoors were first developed in the early 20th century, and have since gained a following among musicians who appreciate their distinctive sound and the challenges they present.
