  • @comancheshower What do you mean by make & model? You can get one from Bulgaria. If you would like that I can connect you to the right people.

  • Много добро :)

  • Прекрасно е! Има ли някаква вероятност да споделиш някакви ноти, имам желание да се опитам да го изсвиря на китара. Мислиш ли че ще се получи? :))

    Поздрави!

  • това място привлича идиоти. това е очевидно българска музика, и ти си много талантлив! браво!

  • @chordophone Изгледа да је и тебе привукла... само, нико не вели да није Булгарска музика... можда привлачи идиоте али боме, и обичне будале који не виду даље од носа. Поштовање.

  • Oooh!:-) Thank you so much for your wonderful words!I am so happy it brings you joy!Best regards!:-)

  • Its mesmerizing

  • The Beatles did use the Tambura. Within you Without you for an example!

    by the way, I love the way you play!

  • The bulgarian tambura is not to be mixed up with the carnatic Indian tambura, although, the origin may be common (the long neck lutes are very ancient. Some of them can be observed on wall paints in Egyptian pyramids).

  • this is a sitar not a tamboura ppl...and i know this for a fact

  • @tanvee28

    god...this has nothing to do with indian instruments,tamburas are stringed instruments played in the balkans

  • @ReapersShredder yeah ..."bosnian tambura".....

  • @tanvee28 The tambura is a very Bulgarian instrument (mostly played in the Pirin area). It is probably used sometimes in Bosnia. It is also close to the Croatian tamburitza although it is a different instrument from the same family (long neck lutes).

  • @tanvee28 you are right that it is not an inidan tampura, but it is most definately NOT a sitar

  • Great preformance!

    I've made a tambura with my grandfather so I know the beauty of the instrument inside out. I'm going to try and learn how to play it well, and learn some folklore songs

  • isnt a tanpura bigger? and just used for drones?

  • Wonderful! *****

    Best regards:)

  • Love the Tamboura!!! I also love the music from Pirin Macedonia!!!

  • Благодаря Ви много! Обичам много тамбурата. Браво!

  • Lucy in the sky with Diamonds. The Beatles were ones of coolest band to use instrument that you would not dare to use today in rock. I wish we had more people like that.

  • To all of you who like how I play BIG Thanks!!!:-) it´s amazing though how this video woke up such an intensive debate about the tamboura and other string instruments!Keep going ;-)

  • The beatles used it.

  • really? On which song?

  • @Tamburdjia : in "Tomorrow never Knows" George Harrison plays sitar and tamboura, and there´s other Beatles songs that includes this instrument.

  • nice song

    tambura is an asian origin instrument not slavic :D but if you use it and alter it in your ways it becomes slavic too

    and plz praise türkish for sharing it with you

  • BOSNIAN TAMBURA :)

  • Balkan Musiic <3

  • Bravo,abe stiga s tezi gluposti makedonsko bilo,tova s ie 4ista bulgarska muzika ,bravo pich

  • Enjoy the music of Bulgaria!!!

  • OR MEABY THE OPOSIT

  • It is obviously Bulgarian music, as it is being played in Plovdiv...as for the "great Turkish influence," I think we could all have done without, thanks.

  • NO you couldn't have done something without us. The Turkish Saz is the mother of all stringed instruments ( Guitare, what you call tambura, dombra and many other instruments).

  • Yes, of course, and mother of Chinese Yazheng too. Come on, stop being ignorant... Turkish Saz is a beautiful instrument, I have one myself, but what you said about it being mother of all string instruments is obviously not true...

  • tamburitzan music is not just balkan. it is NOT chinese, its all forms of slavic music. I know because I am serbian and i used to play.

  • The Saz is the mother of the Balkan's string instruments like Tambura, Baglama, Bouzouki & so... The guitar appeared in the the world long before the Turks.

  • Comment removed

  • @elzanaandsophia There is neither 'balkan' nor 'balkanic'. music. There is music from Bulgaria, Serbia, Macedonia, with a more or less strong Turkish influence. It is a fact that these countries belong to the Balkan's region.

  • lol bulgarian music, i know some one who'd like this...

  • they use this instrument in croation folk dancing as well

  • Bosnia Too

  • Beautiful Bulgarian folk music played on tambura

    Bravoo strahotno...

  • lijepo lijepo... svaka čast care...

  • tambura is a little olderr from bousouki built in ancient greece and then turkish call it sazi

  • I thought that was called a basouki

  • Very beautiful playing, the art of tambura :-)

  • Instrument names can be quite confusing. Some instruments have totally different names in other regions and some names are used for different instruments. The names tanpura/tambur/tamburica/etc/e­tc are derrived from a persian instrument called tanbur (in modern times). tawtu's right about the hindustani tambura/tampura.

    This is a bulgarian instrument called tambura. It's almost similar to the prim of the croatian tamburica family. I'd like to learn play this one myself ;)

    Beautiful music!

  • A tambura or tanpura  is an Indian instrument that makes a droning sound. It's just a sitar with no frets and less strings. This is a different kind of tambura Liveonfire.

  • Thanks for the clarication, I've been wanting to know the difference!

  • its a indian setar

  • thats not a tambura

  • Really? :-) What is it then?

  • Its a indian style mandolin.

  • hahaha hahaha

    Liveonfire you're a funny dude. This instrument is called the 'TAMBURA' or 'TAMBURICA' is straight from the Balkans especially used in Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as Croatia but obviously also in the rest of the Balkans. You're talking about the 'TANPURA' which is an Indian instrument.

  • Super svirish :) I s tova pirinskoto napravo mi razmekna syrceto

  • Sviri covek, alal mu vera!

  • Bravo, Misho, vijdam, 4e si razbirash ot rabotata :-))) Deto se vika " Kojto go moje- go moje" ! :-)

  • Beautiful! I've noticed that there is a "droan" string that holds a constand note. This is very evident in Serbian music from Lika (a region currently in Croatia). The musicians instrument looks similar to a "Licki brac" or danguba. Bulgarian music is awesome!

  • Thanks for your wonderful comment!Yeah the open bordon string is typical for different stringinstruments allover Balkan.Cheers!

  • @Tsitsvara Actually, the correct word is 'drone'. The use of the drone (tonic, and/or dominant) is very common in traditionnal music from all around the world.

  • @Tsitsvara

    This mostly originates from Bosnia, Serbian has a constant double note, if you understand? look up some serbian tambura very different from this kind..

  • @mrbongsterweed I wouldn't say so. Serbian country folk music has a common root within all territories inhabited by Serbs in the former Yugoslavia.

  • @Tsitsvara Yugoslavia was not inhabited by serbs they were Yugoslavians, their were mixed religions, you can't really say where their sound came from except from Yugoslavia

  • @mrbongsterweed Yes, I agree that Yugoslavia was a mix of nations; primarily Serbs, Croats and Slovenes with three religions, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Roman Catholic Christians and Islam. Serbs were the majority in Yugoslavia who were primarily Orthodox, but also Catholic and Muslim. Serbian Muslims were a large community in what is today Bosnia & Herzegovina. Serbs were spread out all over Yugoslavia and were the majority in the Military Frontier, B&H, Crna Gora and Macedonia.

  • @Tsitsvara Yugoslavia was not inhabited by serbs it was many mixed religions which made them Yugoslavians, it can only be traced back to Yugoslavia not serbs, serbs weren't the creators of this Melody it was many cultures..

  • Quite beautiful. Thank you!

  • bravo majstore ;)
