Molto interessante, posso chiederti com’è accordato solitamente il mandolino nella musica cretese? Ho ascoltato qualcosa di Psarantonis e Loudovikos ton Anogeion e mi sembra che sia accordato diversamente dallo standard

[@juharossi1617]

Ciao Ho visto solo l'accordatura standard del mandolino cretese. Ma come per tutta la musica, ci sono sicuramente molte variazioni locali.

mandolins rule

[@juharossi1617]

Yes. 😊

[@jamescolombo2775]

This seems like an american mandolin. Do greeks use this one or the older one that sounds different and is used in italy and portugal?

[@juharossi1617]

Yes, This is a Fender Concert tone with a arched top. Cretans usually use mandolins with flat back and flat top. The body depht also is slightly deeper than what you would find in American Bluegrass mandolins.

A ha - so you love Cretan music too! We have much in common. I assume you know Ross Daly and Labyrinth

[@juharossi1617]

Yes I have a few Ross Daly CDs. Crete has some very good music and the mandolin tradition there is remarkable.

[@juharossi1617]

Check out Michael Kontaxakis. A great mandolin player from Crete.

[@robst247]

@@juharossi1617 I definitely will - thanks for the tip. I play mandolin too, so I may give some of the tunes a try, though I know they're devilishly difficult.

@@juharossi1617 Do you know Nikola Parov, who played with Andy Irvine & Donal Lunny in Mozaik? Here he is in an amazing performance, which goes wild at the end (he plays fiddle on his thigh, then strums bouzouki with his fingers): kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5O0aIutl9CXbKc This is also amazing (a nyckelharpa): kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6e0pmmAmrR3qZo

@@robst247 yes I love the Balkan influence in Irish folk music. I have a background playing Greek, Bulgarian and Macedonian dance music.
