I recall having seen both 5 and 6 course specimens of the now (in folk music) so popular Irish bouzouki. It has shed its lute-like bowl body to a more flat back "bandurria" one. Could this now be called a modern mandora? G. On Thu, Dec 7, 2017 at 12:39 AM, Braig, Eugene <[1]brai...@osu.edu> wrote: Very much indeed. It was also originally introduced to Irish music via bouzouki proper, like 45 or more years ago, and later morphed into a mandola-like thingy within the Irish-music context. Alec Finn was another in that first wave of Irish bouzouki advocates. . . . Not to mention the theft of the word "cittern" for yet another mandola-like thingy in the same context. But that's perhaps stepping even further aside. Eugene
