      plenty of repertoire in Hungarian gipsy orchestra music. Some people can play it masterfully.

    It's a monster sized relative of the hammered dulcimer.

    Thank you so much for these videos, I just discovered this channel and being a lover of traditional string instruments, I'm very glad that so much care goes into these videos! If you ever get the chance, I would love to watch videos about traditional Spanish instruments like the Bandurria or Laud. Also, different Latin American countries have different versions of the Cuatro, like Venezuela or Puerto Rico. Any video you make is sure to be great, but I really look forward to those instruments when you get there :)

      Well thank you for watching! We did a quick trip to Brazil just recently, but didn't get a chance to see much of the rest of South America. It's on the list, don't worry! :) please share with anyone else you think might be interested, it helps keep us going!

    Do you think you'd ever be able to get a video about the Kora out? It's super interesting African Folk instrument, but it's never really been covered in a context like this, thanks for all the great videos

      I'd love to! It would be great to do a big African trip, but that may still be a little way away. I think an Asia series might come first, but you never know!

    just for the information in greece there is also a tradition of cimbalon (rather short i guess) although it is very rare in use we can find it in discography of greek traditional songs.The best cimbalon player is called Klearchos Korkovelos(ruclips.net/video/ckCe9q9LeRY/видео.html&ab_channel=oinopoleioncook-house) he plays the great cimbalon which is the same to the hungarian and also he plays a sorter variation of cimbalon (propably greek) which is alike the brother instrument called greek santouri.

    God I would love to have an electric Cimbalom. I've only seen like two people have them but there isn't a company that makes them. I'm not sure how to modify one to be electric myself.

    These folk DO love the sound of their own voices. I came here to hear some MUSIC!!! And not a single glissando, the most wonderful effect that puts the shivers down your back. I'm now going to look for a real GYPSY video.

      Yes, but this kind is a hungarian invention (by Schunda Vencel József) (surname first). The model seen on the video was designed by Bohák Lajos.

    Jeez, this instrument must be obscure because the guy talking about it is being pretty open about "I call this part X" and "I dunno, I put tape on it." XD
    Not knocking him at all, it's just evidence of the fact that the community of people who play this instrument consists of about 16 people.

    • @TheStringdom
      @TheStringdom  4 года назад +5

      Yeah it is interesting! For a LOT of the instruments I cover on this channel, not only is the community of players pretty small, but they don't have the standardisation of production that a lot of guitar/bass players enjoy. I guess that's why there are a lot of "fixes" and alterations to the instruments. Also, quite often, the people I interview actually know the person who made their instrument. I definitely couldn't say the same about all the guitars in my collection.

      @luchadorito 4 года назад +1

      Well it has limited musical application, weighs a million tons a new one costs a small fortune and servicing is a nightmare. I love it and wish I had one but it is not exactly practical. Until someone starts making a cheap and lightweight one it wont be popular

      He's hesitating about the names of things because English isn't his first language. The community of people who play this instrument numbers in the thousands. Sure it's 'obscure', to Westerners. Almost everyone in Hungary or Romania would recognise this instrument on sight.

    • @TheStringdom
      @TheStringdom  3 года назад +6

      @@tambalagiu Great point! And that's part of the reason I wanted to assemble these videos in this channel, many of these instruments don't have a lot of English-language content on youtube (Torban, Kobza, Bandura etc), so hopefully a more international audience can get familiar with them :)
