The aim of this paper is to provide physics teachers and physics students with interdisciplinary cultural and scientific related content. The "dombra" is on the one hand a cultural symbol of Kazakhstan with a long tradition. On the other hand, the dombra as a musical instrument is an object of interest in acoustics. The topic can lead to deeper insights into theory of musical instruments and acoustics and to positive motivational effects as well. The idea of this article originated in a guest lecture in physics at Taraz State Pedagogical University (Kazakhstan), where one of the authors introduced physics teacher students to "New Technologies in Physics Education." This course was about good practice examples of integration of mobile devices and their built-in sensors in physics classes. An overview of this innovative educational field is given in Ref. 1. There is a wide range of smartphone-enhanced experiments, from simple hands-on experiments to complex digital data collection and modeling tasks in particular in the field of acoustics.
