Those eastern stringed instruments create some nice drones ...

Been rewatching this trying to get down and understand the rolling strum, probably best with fingernails.

She’s death metal ready! But is death metal ready?

Don't under estemate the power of ukuleles. Everyone should have at least 3 of them.

Waiting for my Buzuq from Turkey ... damn, seems the mofos are bringing it via rowboat!

Picked up a Persian Setar! My Buzuq should arrive soon ...

I'm doing a sound test on it with horrible timing/playing … but it has a ton of potential …

noise/dishwasher/holding awkwardly while standing/not really understanding how the frets "work" (what fret is what note?) … but I still think the instrument sounds cool

Setar w/Korg CM200 clip on pickup>boost>Hardwire SC2>Yamaha G fifty 12 amp

Put the Korg CM200 on the head … that little area above the tuning pegs

While at the shop where I bought the setar the shop owner showed me a santur and I was super impressed by the sound:

I'm beginning to realize that there is no limit to stringed instruments!

This one is a bit more traditional in sound (Irish folkish) and originates in the Appalacian mountains:

You can find these new (made in Canada) for about $100!

Now for a bit more exotic, the Thai Isarn has a very sweet mellow sound …
