I was allowed to borrow one of those angry little things and play it at a folk dance workshop just last weekend. Although the viora is not as loud as you might imagine, I had absolutely no difficulties to be heard - against 100 dancing feet and 30 other musicians, including a heap of akkordeons and a complete Oumpapah brass section! Without effort my agressive little hornet raised its high-pitched voice above all the others, spread its elbows and shoved them aside to sing happily. It absolutely loves those fast paced patterns of folk dance tunes, the focus in the high frequencies gives it an edge against the noise of the room and its' fellow musicians, like the tin whistle does and a normal fiddle only can in numbers. Thank you, Boss, for giving me the opportunity to work with (as I call them for myself) this angry little romanian hornet!
OK.....I am subscribing to Folkfriends. Just when I thought I had found all most extraordinary instruments.....my expectations were beaten again! Keep surprising us!
This band is named "Versengold". They are a big name in the german rennaissance fair / folk szene, and mostly loved for their very humourous song texts. They sing in german, though, but man, it's always a great party! The tune? Someone said it's called "Biikebrennen".
Why is the bass so inaudible? You could have turned it all the way up to slightly above the db output of everything else, and it would still be perceived as sitting comfortably beneath everything else. Instead, the only bass frequencies are coming from that guitar's E string, which could have been shelved down by half or highpassed out entirely, and nothing important would have been lost. This is Metallica's And Justice for All bass mixing.

Does anybody know the name of the tune they're playing?
Biikebrennen
Can't sit down on this treatment...
Sounds like a harmonica, with the player doing a lot of note bending.
I d say it sounds like a violin played through a telephone
