Two hands on an Armenian folk instrument are plucking strings rapidly using a pick and playing Armenian folk songs. The picks are silver metal and worn on the fingers. A woman in her 30’s is dressed in a red traditional Armenian dress and is standing next to the man playing the instrument as she begins to sing. He is in his 50’s, sitting, with gray hair. It is perhaps a Kanun, a type of zither.
