Autonomous Region of the Russian Federation. On the basis of

and musical culture in general. The constructional peculiarities
and means of performance on Selkup musical instruments
are examined. Included in the article are musical notations of
the songs of the Selkups discovered during the process of the
ield search. Systematic classiication is made of the Selkup
musical instruments, according to the lines of E. Hornbostel and
K. Zaks: deinitions are provided for the respective groups of
idiophones, membranophones, chordophones and aerophones.
The varieties and inimitable qualities of the Selkup musical
instruments bear emphatic witness to the originality of the
culture of this people.
