VIOLIN
Los violines de los mayas modernos son versiones muy rusticas de los instrumentos europeos. A pesar de que generalmente tienen cuatro clavijas, solo tienen tres cuerdas. Las versiones modernas muestran influencia mejicana. Los tocan on un conjunto con arpas y guitarras. En algunos pueblos acompañan cantos en ceremonias religiosas.
