The study of Ancient Scythians’ music is one of the most interesting subjects of the modern music archaeology. It can be researched in the comparative way. According to the texts by ancient Greek authors, the ancient Scythians did not have musical instruments. Yet, between the 18th–20th centuries, new archaeological artifacts proved that ancient Scythians could use idiophones and chordophones. A number the Scytian idiophones (horse bells) were found as well as the aerophones (ancient bone pipes) with different subjects of the household in the 18th–19th centuries. At the end of 1940s, the famous ―Scythian harp‖ was founded in one of five large and nine small graves on the Bolshoy Vlagan River Valley in Altai region. During that, time it was Soviet Union territory belonging to both Russian and Kazakh Republics cultural areas. The studies of the Pazyryk harp and its origin were pursued both Russian and foreign researchers. Today the Scythian chordophones and idiophones as two main groups of the archaeological artifacts and musical instruments are known in Russian music archaeology.
