Byikoza

Byikoza (Ukrainian: Бийкоза) is a variant of kozobas. Accompanying bow-pinch musical instrument, created in the 1960s based on Hutsul folklore and ethnography. It is said that when the musicians left the Hutsul wedding, and the guests still wanted to have fun, they took a bucket, inserted a carrying pole into it, and tied wires to the bucket bracket and the upper end of the carrying pole. This chimaera was played on the fourth-seventh day of the wedding by pulling a stick along the wire or hitting it, or during kolyadkas , imitating the sounds of a goat.
