The most well-known [[Nurian]] instrument is probably the ''aġġiakkātą'' [ædʒdʒækˈkaːtˠãː], a pasta guitar-like instrument with a bridge to separate two rows of strings that are an octave apart. Common models have 21 strings (folk), 29 strings (classical) or 37 strings (deluxe). | The most well-known [[Nurian]] instrument is probably the ''aġġiakkātą'' [ædʒdʒækˈkaːtˠãː], a pasta guitar-like instrument with a bridge to separate two rows of strings that are an octave apart.
