"Traditional Instrument Making - Vases, Askomantoures and Bagpipes" [With English subtitles]
Episode 5
If someone searched at the beginning of the millennium for all kinds of askavlos in Greece, he would hardly find. And he certainly wouldn't find a luthier to repair it.
Since then, a lot of water has entered the groove and the sound of the Pontic bagpipe, the ascomandura and the tsambuna has become almost fashionable in traditional music.
In this episode of “45 Craftsmen, 60 Students”, Ira visits the workshop of Serapheim Marmaridis at the foot of Paikos and is initiated into the secrets of the complex construction of this pastoral wind instrument with the rousing sound. He will reflect on the primitive and authentic character of the instrument and, of course, listen to good music.
