cobza: variations on a theme. this might be the most interesting instrument to play. so many techniques on 10 strings, 3/2/2/3. since they're wide on the bottom, they can be accessed individually. wonderful instrument! the owner of music inn, where i traded for this, has only seen two of them in his life. there's a factory in romania that still makes them. this is the only 10-stringed one i've seen. the romanian factory makes 8-stringed ones. wonderful sounds! http://www.alansondheim.org/var1.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/var2.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/var3.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/var4.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/var5.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/var6.mp3
