The šargija originated in Bosnia and Herzegovina during the rule of Ottoman Empire, and is played by Bosniaks, Albanians, Serbs and Croats. Its original four strings have been increased to six or even seven. The šargija usually accompanies the violin, and has a jangling sound, similar to the Turkish saz. The sharki (or sargija) is a similar instrument as the two-string qiftelia, but with more strings and looking more like a primitive saz. Spelling is sometimes: sarkia or sharki or sharkia. Usually there are three courses of metal strings. The frets are often inlaid metal frets, in a non-western pattern. Body could be made from separate staves, or carved from one piece of wood. This instruments are made from cherry wood.

Bagpipe as one of the most represented musical instruments in folk music tradition of Macedonia, and has a significant role in the preservation of our authentic folk music. Wooden parts of the Bagpipe are: -Blow (duvalo) pipe wich is made from plum wood,in which the player blows to refill the bag. At the end of the blow pipe that is within the bag, there is a small check valve (return valve) of leather or felt that allows air into the bag via... the blow pipe but not back out. -Reeds (piska) is made from reed (arundo donax) an is fitted in chanter. -Chanter (Gajdarka) is made from ox horn and Buxus. Gajdarka is typical Macedonian cylindrical bore, and has seven holes. -Drone (brčalo) is the long pipe which provides a constant harmony note, and is made of three-piece tube with a note much lower than that of the chanter. Chanter is also made from plum wood. Bag is made from goat skin, In the Macedonian regions, the hide is normally turned inside out so that the fur is on the inside of the bag, as this helps with moisture buildup within the bag. The socket into which the blowpipe fit is made from ox horn. Bagpipe is made by craftsman who have more than 30 years of experience in producing quality traditional Macedonian wood wind instruments.

Traditional Macedonian handmade Kemane also known as Gusla Gadulka and Rebeck is made from walnut wood with tree strings, made by experienced craftsman. This instrument is very rare in Macedonia, only few people still know how to make Kemane. Kemane is played in north-east parts of Macedonia. Kemane is characterized by specific, universal structure and physiognomy. The tone of the Kemane is obtained by gliding the strings with the bow, made of flexible forked willow twig.... It has a bow shape and is tied with horse hair, waxed with rosin. On the back side of the Kemane, in the bottom part there is a pine rosin. On each playing session it is recommended to rub the strings with rosin, for producing more quality sound. Dimensions: length: 51 cm ~20.07 inch width: 18,5 cm ~ 7.28 inch
