A Russian stringed musical instrument, a bowed fiddle-like instrument sometimes called a 'Hardanger fiddle' variant.
From Russian 'gudok' (гудок), possibly from 'gudét' (to hum), relating to the humming sound the instrument makes when played.
The gudok is a wonderful example of how different cultures independently invented nearly identical instruments—bowed fiddles appear across Europe and Russia with different names, showing how humans had similar ideas about making music with strings.
