Then the cobza http://lounge.espdisk.com/archives/852 (best for listening) http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/cobzahigh1.mp3 http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/cobzahigh2.mp3 So after the violin, viola, sarangi, sindhi sarangi and oud, working on the cobza, which for once stayed in tune; of all the instruments here, it tends to go out the fastest. I wanted to revisit it, half Gregorian, half Eastern European, half oud, ten metal strings in pairs and triplets, 3-2-2-3. In fourths it's capable of an amazing variety of timbres and melodic possibilities... My old friend, the cobza...
