A particular emphasis is accorded to the Tamburica, a stringed instrument that can be found in most of the Balkan countries, with the tamburica being slightly different from the others and most commonly found in Croatia and Serbia.
The tamburica has been played in New Zealand for over 100 years having been brought here by our early Dalmatian pioneers.
The piano accordion is always included in the orchestra.
