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 - *

* 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
