I've made an attempt at copyediting this. I don't see the need in wikifying Amharic words -- assuming that any of these ever become Wikipedia articles, most of them would be in the Amharic Wikipedia. I've translated (and un-wikified) the few words that I know (and will try and tackle more of them another time). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 06:44, 4 Mar 2005 (UTC)

How old is the krar when was it invented is it from Amhara region blah blah blah.--Halaqah 01:06, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Tanbura edit
See also Tanbura. The photo in New Grove Dictionary of Music shows an instrument that looks very much like (if not exactly identical to) a krar, and yet the photo was taken in Iraq. Both instruments are found in East Africa. I won't go so far as to say that one influenced the development of the other - it's entirely possible these lyres were invented independently of one another. If they do have anything in common, though, it should be noted. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 22:24, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Along with the five-stringed bowl lyre krar or the single-stringed fiddle masinqo, the flute washint is also one of the most widespread and ubiquitous traditional musical instrumentsof the Amara. After confirming it, please restore it. Thanks
