     Traditionally yatga performances were reserved only for monasteries and the court, and playing the instrument was considered a sacrosanct rite. This taboo changed over time as new forms of the yatga appeared, ranging from a ten-stringed yatga that anyone could play to a yatga with twenty-one strings.
