Editing Kamancheh (section)

== Name and etymology ==
The word "kamancheh" means "little bow" in Persian (''kæman'', bow, and ''-cheh'', diminutive).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.loghatnaameh.com/dehkhodaworddetail-517f91e26c9a482aa5447c3e20c4aff8-fa.html|title=کمانچه – پارسی ویکی|website=loghatnaameh.com|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081017181107/http://www.loghatnaameh.com/dehkhodaworddetail-517f91e26c9a482aa5447c3e20c4aff8-fa.html|archive-date=2008-10-17}}</ref> The Turkish word [[kemenche|kemençe]] is borrowed from Persian, with the pronunciation adapted to Turkish [[phonology]]. 

It also denotes a bowed string instrument, but the Turkish version differs significantly in structure and [[sound]] from the Persian kamancheh. 

There is also an instrument called [[:tr:Kabak kemane|''kabak kemane'']] literally "pumpkin-shaped bow instrument" used in [[Turkish music]] which is only slightly different from the Iranian kamancheh.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.frmtr.com/muzik-enstrumanlari/5496809-kabak-kemane-ve-kemancha-hakkinda-rehber.html|title=Kabak kemane ve Kemancha hakkında rehber|access-date=2014-07-05|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171214014210/https://www.frmtr.com/muzik-enstrumanlari/5496809-kabak-kemane-ve-kemancha-hakkinda-rehber.html|archive-date=2017-12-14|url-status=dead}}</ref>
