The life of nomads was always accompanied by music. They were creative people and used every material in making musical instruments. There was enough of such material in steppe – reed, wood, leather. Also bones of animals, cattle’s horns and hoofs, simple clay were used. Among the folk musical instruments which were especially popular dombra, kobys, sybyzgy, syrnai should be named. The music is divided into songs and instrumental one (kyuis). The kyuis usually accompanied the beginning of the meetings of the kins heads. The shepherds accompanied herds of sheep performing kyuis on sybyzgy (a kind of wind-instruments, like a flute).

The songs sounded in campaigns, at weddings and parties of young people. Akyns performed songs to the accompaniment of a two-string dombra.

People added honorable prefixes “sal” and “sere” to the names of the most popular authors. One of the famous musicians of the XIX century was Kurmangazy Sagyrbayev (1818-1889). A famous composer, founder of the national instrumental music, he was characterized by his unique, bright, creative play on dombra.
