A one- or two-stringed bowed instrument used by the South Slavs, especially in Serbia, Bosnia, and Dalmatia in Yugoslavia, to accompany the singing of oral folk epics. In Serbo-Croatian it is called gusle. The soundboard is made of a rounded body (made of pine, ash, olive, etc.) with a membrane on the surface, and the strings are made of twisted horsehair. This lute-type stringed instrument is thought to have been introduced from West Asia to the Balkans around the 9th or 10th century. The players, called guslars, were protected by local nobles and rulers of autonomous cities and sang folk epics on themes such as the legend of the human sacrifice of the Skadar fortress, the legend of King Stefan Dušan and Prince Marko (the Marko legend), the Battle of Kosovo, and the deeds of the righteous bandits (hajduk).

南スラブ族，特にユーゴスラビアのセルビア，ボスニア，ダルマツィアなどで口承民間叙事詩を歌う際の伴奏に用いられる民族楽器で，1弦または2弦の擦弦楽器。セルボ･クロアチア語ではグスレgusleと呼ぶ。背の丸い胴(材質はマツ，トネリコ，オリーブの木など)の表面に皮膜をはって響板にし，馬の毛をよって弦を張る。このリュート型弦鳴楽器は，9～10世紀ごろ，西アジアからバルカンに渡来したものと考えられている。その弾き手はグスラルと呼ばれ，地方の豪族や自治都市の支配者の保護を受け，スカダル(シュコダル)築城の人柱伝説，ステファン･ドゥシャン王やマルコ王子の伝説(マルコ伝説)，コソボの戦，義賊(ハイドゥク)のてがらなどを主題とする民間叙事詩をグスラを弾きながら歌った。
