A popular Nithish folk instrument is the ''kautil'', a 5 string harp resembling the Finnish kantele but with movable bridges. Songs are mostly pentatonic with minor pitch variations on each note and these are played on the kautil by pressing the strings on the other side of the bridge | A popular Nithish folk instrument is the ''kautil'', a 5 string harp resembling the Finnish kantele but with movable bridges.

Vocal and choral music is extremely popular in Nithland, so much so that Nithland is often called "vėnjacema" (the land of song). Choral composition is a very rich tradition and many public figures in Nithland are also choral composers and songwriters, an example being the current prime minister of Nithland, Wėnima Vriyaszūnu. | |||
