"We are homesick most for the places we have never known." - Carson McCullers
"Nostalgia" melody by Marios Podaras is a composition for an ancient pandura, inspired by the strange feeling of nostalgia for things we have never owned, meet, or experience before. Marios performs on an ancient-inspired music instrument, masterfully handcrafted by LUTHIEROS workshop in Greece.
// About LUTHIEROS Pandura
This is a replica of a pandura (ancient Greek: πανδοῦρα), an ancient string instrument with a fretboard that was first observed in ancient Greek artwork around the 4th century B.C. LUTHIEROS Pandura has 3 strings, along with a long neck with frets. It is a full range chromatic scale string instrument, that can produce any note between D3 and G5 (i.e. two and a half octaves)! The player holds the pandura horizontally with the neck of the instrument to his left, the left-hand’s fingers pressing the strings on the frets and the right hand plucking the strings or struck them with the “plectrum”.
