The traditional dutar has a similar structure to that of playing booleans. It is shaped like a large water scoop with a long handle. It consists of a resonance box, a headstock, a piano rod, a peg, a bridge and a string.

The production materials are mostly mulberry, apricot or walnut that have been naturally dried. The specifications and sizes are determined according to the different classifications of men, women and children, and are usually divided into three types: large, medium and small. The large handle is wound with 17 frets of silk, and the small one has 14 frets, suitable for men and women to play.

When playing, the five fingers of the right hand are used together, and one of them is indispensable. Either plucking or picking, or picking or sweeping, the sound of the piano is small but the timbre is very soft, and the player can express his feelings through the sound of the piano. Women especially like to play and sing with dutar.

Dutar is an excellent accompaniment instrument, in addition to the main accompaniment in classical music, it also played the famous pieces "Mushawureke Muqam Interlude", "Aijam" and "Happy" Times" etc.
