View on Wikipediafrom Wikipedia
The tidinet is a type of string instrument from Mauritania and other regions in North Africa.[1] It is most often only played by men.[2] The tidinet resembles a small guitar and is used by griots.[3]
It is similar in appearance to the tahardant, or ahardin (not to be confused with ardin).[4]
