Đàn brố
Musical instrument
The bro is a traditional fretted tube zither of the Bahnar, Sedang, Rhađe, Jarai, and Giẻ Xtiêng peoples of the Central Vietnam Highlands.
Similar instruments
The bro is constructed and played in a similar manner to the Malagasy jejy vaotavo (also called lokanga voatavo or herrauou) and the dzendzé ya shitsuva of the Comoros, and both probably share a common origin in the ekatantri veena and kinnari veena (fretted tube zithers) of India. It is also distantly related to the Indian alapini veena, the Thai phin pia and phin namtao, and the Khmer kse diev, which are all unfretted stick zithers.

Why this record matters
“Đàn brố” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Musical and instrument provides the most credible route into that argument.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 29, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4971783. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
