The Suka was a unique violin that is played vertically, knee or hanging from a belt, and the ropes stopped on the side with the nails of the hands, similar to the gadulka. The body of the instrument was very similar to the modern violin, but the neck was very broad, and the pegbox was crude. This is believed to be the " 34 missing link; between the head down or " knee Chordophone instruments " and the modern violin. He died, and he was known only from drawings of a single sample shown in an exhibition in 1888.
