Greek Traditional Instruments - 4 - Pontian Lyra

• 4 / 30 •

Throughout the 30 years I have been playing music, I have learned the craft of (coincidentally) 30 instruments🎶
4 - Pontian Lyra (kemenche). The lyra or kemenché is a 3 stringed bowed instrument that is specific to the music of Pontos (Black Sea coast and surrounding region of Asia Minor.) Traditionally, it is played two strings at a time and accompanied by Daouli (bass drum). This lyra was handcrafted by @vasileios_papadopoulos
Song: Ada Son Kosmon Agapo (pontian love song)
