It has four strings in four courses and is tuned E, A, D, G. Three of the strings are made of silk and the highest is steel.
It was developed through a rationalization of an earlier Turkic instrument (the kopuz), and used the Chinese name for that instrument. The models were developed, soprano alto and tenor.
