Template:Infobox Instrument

The pidkova (Template:Langx, literally "Horseshoe") is a musical instrument.

In some Ukrainian folk instrument ensembles a steel horseshoe dangling from the end of a gut string is struck with a piece of metal wire. This produces a high-pitched ringing sound similar to a triangle.
