This has been quite useful to me, in that I am now attempting to make a krar myself. I would point out that the krar is pentatonicly tuned, but there is no single standard tuning, as it can vary from one piece of music to another. The krar is also played by both strumming (usually much closer to the bridge) and plucking. Ethiopians seem to prefer plucking, but the most popular Eritrean krarist, Dawit Shilan, does both, giving him a unique sound.

Your playing of the melody is much improved over what you use on the album (and it's very good there). I'm glad to hear too just where you got your techniques! :)

I think I'm going to get a lyre purely because of the superb opening line XD
