The gusle or lahuta (or gusla) (Albanian: lahuta, Bulgarian: гусла, Croatian: gusle, Romanian: guzlă, Serbian: гусле), is a single-stringed musical instrument used in the Balkans and in the Dinarides region.
The term gusle/gusli/husli/husla is common term to all Slavic languages and denotes a musical instrument with strings. The gusle should, however, not be confused with the Russian gusli, which is a psaltery-like instrument; nor with the Czech term for violin, housle.
The Gusle has many similarities with the lira, which was widely used throughout the Byzantine Empire and can still be heard in many post-Byzantine regions in almost exactly the same way. It is also similar to the Bulgarian Gadulka.
The Albanian name "lahuta" is a borrowing from the Romanian lute - lauta.
Amongst the South Slavs, the gusle is typically not played on its own; instead, it is used to accompany the voice of a vocalist called a guslar reciting and/or singing an epic story or legend.
Lep prikaz nakazne enciklopedije VIKIPEDIJE i dosta odgovara istini. No važnije je da mi čujemo malenu kolekciju snimaka na tom drevnom arhaičnom instrumentu koji je najprepoznatljiviji zvuk sa ovih prostora Balkana i nekadašnje JUGOSLAVIJE. Gusle znače vezu ka prošlosti, vezu ka hrabrom stradanju naroda od turaka i sličnih baraba.
