Marios Podaras with a LUTHIEROS ancient pandura plays "Ay Giz", an old folk song by Azerbaijan.
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. It is also known as bandora, or bandore.
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”.
Pandura is considered to be the direct predecessor of the contemporary instruments in the lute family. Whatsmore, the frets were possibly separated by movable leather cords so that the instrument would be used to produce the different genera of the ancient Greek music.
