Summary/Abstract: Kemenche is a national instrument used by several Turkic peoples since the ancient times. Etymology of the word possibly goes to Turkic, like all pertinent terms, and not to Persian as widely assumed. Trabzon region is known with popularity of its use; however there is a steady decrease of interest in kemenche.
