The doli is performed across Georgia
in the Caucasus. The body of the musical instrument is made up of a hollow
wooden cylinder that is covered with leather tightly affixed to it with iron
rings. The musical instrument is played with the use of the palms of the hand
as well as the fingers of the hand. The instrument is placed under the arm,
while sitting or dancing. It is struck in the center to get the forte tune and
struck at the edge to get a piano tune. The height of the doli and the diameter
of the body and head is nearly 3 to 1.

Mostly, it is men that play the musical
instrument. In playing the instrument, the doli creates the rhythm of the
dance. The musical instrument is usually combined with other regional musical
instrument including the chonguri, the salamuri, the duduki, the chiboni and
the buzika.
