Tedra is a 3-string bowed instrument with non-fixed tuning. It consists of a wooden body
made of two resonating decks, and two flat bridges, one of which moves up and down the deck.
Flat bridges allow to bow all three string at ones, to produce 3-note chords.
 The moving bridge allows to produce free sliding chords, while playing with a bow. It also
divides all three strings into two sections which gives in total six different tones and
allows to use both hands and different techniques in each section simultaneously.
