The Brac [ braːtʃ ] is a long-necked plucked loud that the Croatian is played folk music. It is the second smallest musical instrument in a tamburica ensemble and is used to reproduce medium pitches.
The Brač is a slightly larger instrument than the Bisernica , but is actually played the same way. The Brač usually has three double strings (gda), but there are also two-part and single-part variants. Due to its size, it also produces a slightly deeper sound than the Bisernica. A typical style of play is called trzanje in Croatian . This technique produces the usual soft, soft timbre, which is also very similar to that of other instruments such as the mandolin or the balalaika . The instrument has a moderate, full sound.
This instrument usually takes on the playing of the melody itself or the second or third parts of a polyphonic score. For orchestral scores two or even three Brač parts are usually composed (I., II. And III. Brač). The musicians from the Srijem area also call the I. Brač the bass prime and the II. Brač third bass prime or bass prime third . The Brač looks very similar to the Macedonian-Bulgarian tambura .
