I have been scratching my head why my computer can play the first half perfectly and not the 2nd. Wow, great music but do you have a better version of the video in any format? If the original is bed, there are ways to improve it.
Ok, I have been watching your videos almost everyday. They are other-worldy. I have become a Ross Daly fan! Thank you for posting them lagoutieris! Now my question is: Why is this song called Lokasti's dream? BTW, this lavta-laouta is a beauty.
I am really glad you enjoy them peybak. As far as the title goes I cannot be very illuminating, Iokasti is Greek for Jocasta (the mother (and wife!) of Oedipus). I don't know if Ross had the actual character in mind... The instrument is exceptional I agree.
Thanks for the clarification. I didn't realize there was such a rich culture of lutes in Greek music. From what I have been seeing they are usually very ornamented, unlike Persian and to some degree Turkish lutes.
This is indeed a laouto especially commisioned in 1985 from Turkish master luthier Ragip Akdeniz who is particularly well known for his outstanding work on the saz. The body design is from a very old oud that I found in Cairo. Ragip usta worked around this body design and created all the rest in accordance with the proportions of the lavta. It uses a miture of saz and Cretan laouto strings and is here tuned e b E b
Ross geia hara sou kai thanx for the clarification. Most of it it seems I got it right since well....you told me so! (some years back, in your house in Petralona). I hope Houdetsi will wait for our annual pilgrimage next summer too. Kalo xeimona.
Yeia Sou Ross!!..Could you tell me where I might be able to find one of these instruments..I love the sound of it and as I play Oud I would love to try this great combination of Oud and Saz..I have looked for "Lavta" online but cant find that much info..or where to buy one from..
It's called 'Laouto' (lute), just like the title of the piece. Ross ordered the luthier Recep Agdeniz to specially make it for himself if I'm not mistaken.
To me, it's an attempt to combine the sound of the Cretan lute, with the shape and playability of the Lavta.

The problem that the video has after it's sixth minute is a real damn shame.

What instrument is that? It looks like a cross between and Oud and Bozouki, but sounds like a Baglama/Saz.
