So, how different is this instrument from the dutar? Do they both have movable frets? Microtones are cool!

Saz and Soz are probably related, I'm thinking, as are rubob and rebab- found in different configurations along the Ancient Silk Road, which Tashkent sits right on, of course. Some of teh same instruments exist in the Balkans under different names- probably also originally from Central Asia coming into Europe through the Silk Raos trade or with the Ottoman Turks. You must have a very interesting collection of folk instruments to look over in your area. I think Rebab and Dushpulur which is played in Tuva may be related as well, as both have a hide covered sound box. It may be that the Akonting from West Africa descends from Rebabi brought in by Arab traders a millenium ago- but I'm just guessing. Looks like you're having fun
