    Looks like a good list. I'd add some mongol and turko-mongol instruments for the Wolf and Tiger nomads although there are only a few and most of these are pretty similar to Persian and other middle-eastern instruments.

    One thing - you probably just grabbed the wrong link - but the robab is an Afghan lute and belongs with the plucked instruments. The rebab is a bowed instrument, and is much more widespread.

    For flavor's sake you could include some singing traditions like sema and it's descendant qawwali, or Mongolian urtyn duu and throat singing.

    Rubab or Robab (Persian: رُباب Rūbāb, Hindi: रुबाब) is a lute-like musical instrument from Afghanistan[1]. It is mainly used in the classical music of Afghanistan.


    At least it is what it said in the wiki article.

    Also thanks for the info, i will see to add info about these.

    It would be really cool if this list could be developed more. I've always had a fascination with this kind of detail, but there's so little of it out there. More, please!

    Do you intend to keep this list sourced purely from real world instruments?

    Or will you be developing (or open to the development of) "purely Baklunish" instruments (i.e. stuff people make up out of nothing but imagination and crayons)? Smile
