Description
I am offering a handcrafted, one-of-a-kind bandurria built in 1989.
This is not a factory instrument but a custom build with an unusual design and a truly distinctive tonal character. The combination of a large body, cedar top, and 12 strings in 6 double courses creates a dense, shimmering, overtone-rich sound sitting beautifully between mandolin, bouzouki, and guitar.
