Topic: Panduri

While I live in the State of Georgia I spend a fair amount of time in the Country of Georgia. One of their tradtion instruments is the Panduri. It is made from a gourd and has three (nylon?) strings. I may try to purchase during my next visit.

Follow this link to a video demonstrating the instrument and a Georgian folk song. Very cool.

Re: Panduri

On a trip to Siberia, I got to hear a guy who really cooked on a balalika - a three stringed triangular guitar.
Check out this guy shredding to a deadpan crowd and burning it up anyway.

We pronounce it "Guf Coast".
Ya'll wanna go down to the Guf?
