The reaction to this repression was the flourishing of Tatar melismatic singing. Only the quray, a simple flute that could be easily made and hidden, survived in memory and practice, while other instruments disappeared. However, manuscripts, sketches, and ethnographic descriptions of Tatar instruments still exist, allowing researchers to reconstruct their forms and functions (as did the Tatar composer Rəşit Kəlimullin for his extensive collection of musical instruments). The loss of Tatar instruments is not only a historical consequence of post-1552 repression but also a modern state-level cultural problem that has remained unresolved for decades.
