The doli is played across Georgia in the Caucasus. The body consists of a hollow wooden cylinder covered with leather tightly attached to it with iron rings. It is played by palms and fingers, under or over the arm, while sitting or dancing. It is struck in the center to get the forte effect and at the edges to get a piano effect. The doli’s height and diameter of the body and head is about 3 to 1. It is mostly men who play the doli. In performance, the doli creates the rhythm of the dance. The doli is often combined with other regional instruments including the chonguri, the chiboni, the salamuri, the buzika and the duduki.

Usage examples of "doli".
Readers who have already journeyed with Taran are assured--- and this without giving away any surprises--- that Gurgi, despite shakings and quakings and fears for his poor tender head, insisted on joining this new adventure, as did the impetuous Fflewddur Fflam and the disgruntled Doli of the Fair Folk.
He said good old Doli was going to be there, so of course I set out immediately.
And you, Taran and Doli, must promise to tell me more of your famous deeds.
Taran squeezed in between the bard and Doli, who grumbled bitterly about the table being too high.
The first shall number Doli of the Fair Folk, Coll Son of Collfrewr, Fflewddur Fflam Son of Godo, and myself.
All were in good spirits save Doli, who hated riding horseback and gruffly declared he could go faster afoot.
In another instant Doli flickered into sight astride what had seemed to be an empty saddle.
By the time Taran reached a shelf of level ground, Doli had run to the protected face of the embankment and was fuming impatiently before a huge tangle of thorn bushes.
He sniffed several times, sighed again, and grudgingly beckoned Doli to enter.
His excitement and impatience were getting the better of him, too, and he was sorely tempted to aid Doli in squeezing Gwystyl.
Nevertheless, he could not deny to himself that Eilonwy and Doli had proposed the surer plan.
But he had no sooner started to agree with Doli than Ellidyr thrust his way to the fireside.
I know Doli can throw them off our trail, and Fflewddur will help him.
Got turned around somehow after Doli and I began leading the Huntsmen a chase.
However, after a hard day and night of marching, when Doli halted at the sheer face of a high cliff, the former giant began glancing about fearfully.
