The Gusle or gusla (Serbian: Гусле, Bulgarian: Гусла) is a single-stringed instrument used in the Balkans, not to be confused with Russian Gusli.
Gusle is most typically used to accompany the voice of the player (guslar) when telling and/or singing an epic story or legend, similar to the use of a guitar in the west.
