electric yayli tanbur 15:19 minute bowed & plucked yayli tanbur solo finally it sounds the way i imagined it the tanbur's run through a small marshall amplifier quite happy w/ this - * http://www.alansondheim.org/yta.mp3 * but maybe i'm missing something ** ** probably not but then these scales are unfamiliar + + more or less 28 frets to the octave ++ *** ++ given the spacing, less than quarter tones ^ ^ i won't even get started on the bow ^^ ^^ more later on bows and things *** 56 frets on the neck +++ +++ which reaches about three octaves ^^^ ***** ^^^ you're only bowing the upper string **** **** plucking, on the other hand, can go anywhere ++++ ++++ and does ^^^^ ^^^^ enjoy ***** the last 2/3 octave or so is fretless
