== Structure and function == The Yaybahar was inspired by several different instruments, including the Turkish ney, African thunder drum and Australian didgeridoo. It represents both Western and Eastern influences in its design and sound. In developing it, Sen invented a new system of bridges between the strings and the resonance body. Composer Ian Honeyman described the Yaybahar as "a cello like instrument that uses springs and drums for resonance rather than a wood body".
