he seems to be playing with a guitar pick, which is not typical with lavta. Maybe that' s why the sound is also not the typical mellow, ud-like sound that you usually get from lavta. Also, the description of the video says in greek that this particular instrument has metallic strings, which is a bit perplexing, since I think that lavtas do have metallic strings, except for the bottom (high pitch) ones. Beautiful playing in any case, and he made it sound like a standard "cretan" instrument, the song he is playing is part of the cretan musical tradition. Great musician
this is just awesome. thanks for this. the lavta sounds like a whole different instrument.
Great playing and great instrument!
Just amasing!
Μπράβο!

Beautiful! Is Ross playing with a thin guitar pick or a sazi pick?
