Greek Popular Musical Instruments in Bloomington, MN

This book represents the first integrated attempt at a comprehensive study of the entire range of Greek popular musical instruments, from the simplest sound-producing devices to the most complex technical achievements of art and musical sensibility. The study of musical instruments sheds light not only on music history, but also on many other problems related to acoustics, technology, and decoration, not to mention sociology, religion, economics and the broader aspects of history and civilisation.
