Gusan is a promoter of Armenian national music. Its mission is to represent all elements of the national, traditional, and folk culture, including musicians, ensembles, composers, and the instruments they play.
To make the practice and use of Armenian national instruments accessible, Gusan also operates its own instrument store. It offers a wide selection of string, wind, and percussion instruments all available in our boutique.
Through its open encyclopedia, Gusan provides a wide range of information related to the Armenian musical world including technical descriptions of instruments, profiles of artisans, biographies of artists, and other cultural insights.
Gusan Instruments is a dedicated initiative focused on the preservation, transmission, and promotion of Armenia’s traditional and folk musical heritage. The platform brings together, in one place, handcrafted instruments, sheet music, recordings, as well as editorial and encyclopedic resources, including musician biographies and educational content. It is intended for musicians, enthusiasts, researchers, and professionals, from beginners to the most advanced performers.
