Agiarut

The agiarut (Inuktitut syllabics: ᐊᒋᐊᕈᑦ also known as the European fiddle) is a bowed instrument native to the Inuit culture of Canada and Alaska.

According to musicologist Beverley Cavanagh,[1] agiarut is the name for a European fiddle, while tautirut is the name for the indigenous bowed box zither.

The modern Western fiddle may be referred to as agiaq ("shaman's rubbing stone").
