Definition

  • Small polish fiddle. Suka is known thanks to an item from the Biłgoraj area, Poland, shown at the First Polish Music Exhibition in Warsaw in 1888 (written accound by Jan Karłowicz, sketch by Tadeusz Dowgird, 1888, watercolour painting by Wojciech Gerson, 1896); in the second half of the 19th c., and possibly at the beginning of the 20th c. it was used in the south of the Lublin region (Biłgoraj area), probably accompanied by a single-skin drum; now used by artists of the folk revival; suka is played in the vertical position (hung over the shoulder on a string or leaned on the knee); players applied side string shortening (so-called fingernail technique)
