The khushtar (Chinese: 胡西它尔; Uyghur: خۇشتار, Хуштар) is a bowed stringed instrument from the Uyghur Region, Western China. It has 4 strings in 4 courses and is tuned G, D, A, E.

Sometimes the Khushtar also has sympathetic strings. It is most common among the Uyghur peoples in the Xinjiang province of Western China, especially Urumqi.

Playing technique

The instrument is played upright on the knee, with the curved attachment on the end of the body resting on the knee itself.
