Bykoza

""Bykoza""  is a variant of kozobasa. Accompanying bow-plucked musical instrument, created in the 1960s on the Hutsul folklore and ethnographic basis. It is said that when the musicians left the Hutsul wedding, and the guests still wanted to have fun, they took a bucket, inserted a rocker into it and tied wires to the bucket bracket and the upper end of the rocker. This chimera was played on the fourth-seventh day of the wedding by pulling a stick along the wire or hitting it, or during carols, they imitated the sound of goats.
