Cumbus: Acoustic Version

Matter Of Factly Dept: Yiannis Kapoulas plays what he calls an Ethno III, a mutant resembling a three-necked electric guitar but combining the Greek bouzouki with the Turkish cumbus saz , according to The Star. It makes it a lot easier to change instruments during a song, he explains matter-of-factly and his fingers are so fast and versatile that no single instrument can accommodate them. His father fashioned it for him from spruce wood and ebony inlays, and at Lula Lounge on Sunday the musician is to unveil an acoustic version combining the bouzouki, the smaller tsoura and guitar. As reported in the news.
