The tautirut is a bowed zither that is from the Inuit culture of Canada.
The tautirut together with the Apache fiddle are among the few First Nations chordophones that may probably be pre-Columbian in origin. An ethnomusicologist known as Anthony Baines and others has noted the resemblance of this musical instrument and the Icelandic fidla and the Shetland gue.
