  TORBAN > ITS PERSONALITIES
Count Oleksij/Alexei Rozumovsky, in fact, being a Cossack and a commoner, was originally a "Pandorist" and a singer [post-1731] at the court Capella of the Empress Elisabeth Petrovna.
This was an unusually genuine loveaffair, and the Empress secretly married Rozumovsky in 1742.
Kyrylo was elected the last Hetman of Ukraine and became the first President of the Academy of Sciences of the Russian Empire.

 Torban and Classical Bandura
The torban has approximately 30 strings, usually made of gut, although instruments having up to 60 strings are known to have existed.
These instruments were very popular among the gentry and nobility of Poland, Russia and Ukraine, and it is known that prominent Ukrainians such as Hetman Mazepa and Kyrylo Rozumovsky played the torban.
It is thought that the Torban was influenced by the French theorbo (teorbe) which the Cossacks under the command of Colonel Ivan Sirko would have observed during their campaigns with the French during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648).
