The gambus is a musical instrument played by plucking its strings with a plastic plectrum, much like the guitar.
It is primarily the lead melodic instrument in Malay music genres such as the Arabian-influenced zapin, masri and hamdolok as well as the Indian-inspired ghazal – all of which are normally performed at Malay weddings and religious festivals.
