This article is about the long neck lute type and it monitors its development which is very complicated, because as it seems, it could have more answers in this problem. And then there are introduced 3 theories about this string musical instrument. It was introduced in R. J. Dumbrill ´s, W. Ellermeier´s and Fr. Stauder´s theories. The origin of the instrument is heading to Mesopotamia in 4th mil. BC or it had been coming later around 3rd – 2nd mill BC. We cannot exclude transmission from Mountain people – Kassites, Hurrian, Hittites and Elamites. Today we are not able to gain information about the wearers of the long neck lute type, but findings of iconography lead up North Syria or into Iran opposite the Asyria where we can see nowhere a picture of the interesting instrument. Hurrians, Hittites and Elamites were enemies of the empire and thus long neck lute type did not have to be accepted to ideological reason. The long neck lute type is included among chordophones using today yet with minimal construct modifications and has let cultural meaning.
