Enjoy the battle of the two traditional string instruments of the two Central Asian countries. Both komuz and dombra share some of their characteristics.

Kyrgyzstan's komuz is an ancient fretless string instrument. It is the best-known national instrument and one of the better-known Kyrgyz national symbols. Komuz is generally made from a single piece of wood (usually apricot or juniper) and has three strings traditionally made out of gut, and often from fishing line in modern times.

Kazakhstan's dombra has frets and is played by strumming with the hand or plucking each string individually, with an occasional tap on the main surface of the instrument. While the strings are traditionally made of sinew, modern dombras are usually produced using nylon strings.
