The gusle or gusla (Bulgarian: Гусла, Croatian: Gusle, Serbian: Гусле, Gusle) is a single-stringed instrument used in the Balkans and on the Dinarides area.
South-Slavic gusle are typically not played on their own, instead, they are used to accompany the voice of a player (called a guslar) when telling and/or singing an epic story or legend, similar to the use of a guitar in the West.
The gusle consists of a wooden sound box, the maple being considered as the best material (therefor often the instrument is reffered to as "gusle javorove" - maple gulsle), covered with an animal skin and a neck with a beautifully carved head.

 Gusle
GUSLE - stringed musical instrument of the Balkans, with a round wooden back, a skin belly, and one horsehair string (or, rarely, two) secured at the top of the neck by a rear tuning peg.
Gusle players or Guslari are among the few performers continuing the oral tradition of epic poetry.
On the neck of the gusle two pictures can be seen, the picture of Montenegrin bishop Petar II Petrovic Njegos (upper), the father of modern Serb national identity, and the picture of Karadjordje, the leader of the First Serbian Uprising in 1804.

 ZBM Performance
The introductory gusle solo centers around B natural in the five-note “gapped” (16) scale A, B, C sharp, D, E; but I hesitate to establish the key as B minor, since there are no Fs, sharp or natural.
Bajgorić “scoops” the C sharp; that is, he initiates the note at a lower pitch level and brings it somewhat higher during the course of the fermata.
The lack of intervening gusle accompaniment between lines 34 and 35 and the new, duple-rhythm phrase that first appears in 39 (all quarter notes) and the increasingly agitated tempo of the entire passage combine musically to tell us that something important is about to happen.
