The teaching and dissemination of techniques for building Polish folk instruments and knowledge about their role in the Polish musical tradition with particular emphasis on locality is an important factor in building regional identity. Learning takes place using the master-student direct transmission method. The young generation's interest in traditional instrument building techniques and the dissemination of this knowledge makes a significant contribution to the continuation of tradition.
