The krar is a five-stringed or six-stringed bowl-shaped lyre instrument that is fabricated in Eritrea and Ethiopia. The musical instrument is tuned to a pentatonic scale. A modern version of the musical instrument can be amplified, much in an analogous way as the electric guitar or the violin.

 The musical instrument is a chordophKne. The krar is often decorated with the wood, cloth and beads. The five or six strings of the musical instrument determine the available pitches of the instrument. The tone of the musical instrument depend on the playing style of the musician; bowing, strumming or plucking. If the instrument is plucked, the krar will manufacture a soft tone. On the other hand, strumming the instrument will produce a harmonious pulsation. The musical instrument is usually performed by musician-singers that are known as azmari. The krar often accompanies love songs and secular songs.
