		Gambus is a lutelike instrument with heavy, muted strings plucked by the performer.
		The plucked string instruments (gambus and kacapi) are usually used in rather high-tempo works, seemingly in an attempt to make fluid passages from instruments that naturally involve staccato, while the violins allow the players to slow down a bit.
		The sounds may be a bit harsh for the average listener -- the violins take almost an Irish sound to them, but in duets, the album tends to favor dissonant intervals between the violins, throughout the length of the pieces.
