How I made a baglama ( mini bouzouki )

In this video I make a baglama, a very popular 6 string musical instrument which is really common in Greek urban folk music genre called "rebetiko".
Tools I propose:
Carving gouge: amzn.to/2A5DaQH
Goose scraper: amzn.to/2IPCNwt
Chisel set: amzn.to/2pILO1B
Flat rasp: amzn.to/2ITVDm0
Round rasp: amzn.to/2A5EpPS
Flat file: amzn.to/2RHIMHH
Round file: amzn.to/2RHJ80Z
Spoke shave: amzn.to/2E74p1w
Flush trim saw: amzn.to/2PnkoJM

and this is why instruments are so expensive. So much work and care goes into crafting a fine instrument! fascinating video.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thanks. Yes even the smallest instrument, requires a lot of work.

[@JustinJetZorbas]

Actually, a lot of instruments similar to this are very inexpensive, surprisingly. But so much work goes into making them!

[@Potatobrains_]

This is one of those instruments that teleport you to an entirely new place when you hear it.

[@hellothere921]

wow i absolutely love the sound of this instrument.

[@user-oj7ux8vg4x]

Could you ever imagine this organ was made in jail when bouzouki was forbitten by the law as an instrument "you could go to jail for playing that or bouzouki or baglama " and it is so small, to be able to hide it very easy from policements. Now, - thank god - neither bouzouki nor baglama is forbitten.

[@TomPetersonRefuseReuse]

Love it, I like it without music, but I do miss your old theme song. I just had it stuck in my head yesterday.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

lol, thank you
