The gunjac (plural: gunjci) or bajs is a violoncello-like Croatianinstrument but with only two strings. Gunjac instrumentalists are called bajsisti. It is a double bass string instrument played with a bow.
The gunjac is commonly found in melodic groupings (tunes) associated with North-Western and Central Croatia including the regions of Zagreb, Žumberak, Pokuplje, Upper Posavina, Moslavina, and Bilogora.
An international festival of bajs players is held annually in Draguć, Istria.[1]
