Sorry for blanking this page a minute back... I thought this was too obscure to have an article. 128.205.139.83 23:59, 28 Jan 2004 (UTC)

It is highly questionable to call the instrument „Croatian Gusle“ or „Montenegrin Gusle“ since Serbs are actually the only ones to play Gusle. They're firmly connected to Serbian history, culture and tradition and both in Croatia and Montenegro, as well as anywhere else, it is Serbs, Orthodox or Catholic, who play them.

I am sure this article therefore needs revising. I would do it myself, but unfortunately my english is not good enough. Untill then, I call upon all who read it to be more then carefull in using of the informations they will find here. --87.116.167.172 10:21, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Where do you live? If you live in the Greaterserbian myths, than stay there and stay away from here. You simply can't live with the fact that Croats are their own people. People that has nothing more with Serbs than with Slovenians. The areas, where Croats play gusle as instrument, are core of Croathood, core of medieval Croat state. If you can't live with that fact, that's your problem. But don't lie to readers here. Kubura 22:10, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Ha, ha, sorry, but there's not any 'Greatserbian myths' in the fact that Gusle are Serbian national instrument. The only nonsense 'myths' is your SICK propaganda, coming from your sick brain, which will not work here anymore. Croats and Serbs speak SAME LANGUAGE and many anthropologists and other scientists consider them as a SAME NATION, while Slovenians are TOTALY different from them, both-linguistically and anthropologically. Serbs and Croats have gusle, NOT Slovenians, they have NEVER HEARD about gusle!!!Ha, ha, That is a fact and obviously IT IS KILLING YOU. That's why you still spread your pathetic lies, because you cannot face the truth. Whatever you say is full of hatred and evil, but be sure that everything bad you say from now on will return to you like a boomerang. Cheers.24.86.110.10 (talk) 09:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Speaking of nationalism and mythomania, I think it is obvious who is seduced by extreme point of view - you, not me. Of course Croats have nothing to do with Serbs, as much as Serbs don't have anything to do with Croats. And further more, I really don't know which "core" of your nationalistic hateful nation you're talking about. If it's Zagorje, wich really is nucleus of croatian teritorry (in fact, the only undisputable cratian teritorry, not claimed by genocide), then I think we both know gusle have never been played there. And if you speak of Dalmacija as a "croatian land" than you're the one who is fooling the readers by his ignorance. You must know, and I'm sure that you do, that Dalmacija's Croats are in the percentage as high as 70% are really of serbian origin. And so is the so-called "croatian gusle", a real oximoron.--89.216.177.210 23:13, 14 November 2006 (UTC)


this is probably the most twisted and hateful post against croatia i've ever read. i hope that people who are not familiar with greater serbian nationalism greater serbian mythology won't take it seriously. 84.72.158.15 09:49, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Let it stay as a proof of Serbian expansionism, Serbian stereotypes and anti-Croat histery.
Otherwise, the English-speaking readers wouldn't believe us.
They don't understand Serbian mythomany, built on myths based on false grounds, that started greaterserbian aggresion on Croatia, Slovenia and Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Serbs can't live with the fact that southern Croatia was a nucleus of early medieval Kingdom of Croatia. That the first mentioning of the word "Croat" is in southern Croatia. That the first capital cities of Croatia were in Croatian south. That Croatian hardliners come from southern Croatia. Kubura

Alright, someone deleted the paragraphs about Albanian and Croatian Gusle. The reason why someone would do that will remain a mystery to me... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.57.7.208 (talk) 06:22, 15 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Edits

Hi. I did some edits basically stylistic ones and some inclusion of terminology regarding epic and folk instruments. I would like to do more but do not want to step on anyones toes. My background is Ukrainian. I studied musicology and am well versed in Ukrainian epic and folk instruments. I can understand the South Slavic languages however I cannot speak them fluently. I do find the constant use of ethnonyms throughout the article somewhat distracting. Bandurist (talk) 19:00, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
