The Cobza is a Romanian and Moldovan folk instrument of the lute family (also known as Koboz in Hungary). It is distinct from the Ukrainian Kobza, an instrument of a different organology and origin.

The Romanian Cobza is metal-strung, and has a very short neck without frets, with a bent-back pegbox. The back is ribbed. It is usually double or triple strung, and often has a characteristic flat endclasp.
