There are nomenclature issues with the dombra. While the Bashkir or Kalmykh dombras are three-string long-neck lutes - whose origins are probably in Turkic traditions - there is also a Ukrainian instrument (known as the dombra too) which is a four-string guitar-shaped instrument, strung (and tuned) like a violin. In fact some uncharitable people have called the Ukranian dombra "a concert balalaika, for violinists to play". When tuned like this, the dombra becomes a kind of stand-in for a mandolin, and there are many players who play baroque mandolin concerti on it.
