The Bastya Zither band is the pioneer of the new style zither-music, as they use leader-, tenor- and bass- zithers, which are equivalent of the violin, viola and double-bass in folk ensembles. Due to this line-up their sound is not like a zither band’s sound, but reminds us of a string ensemble. Besides the zithers they use other instruments like Moldavian drum, beating-wood, accordion and violin.
