a new Beauty from Tasos Theodorakis
Hello udis,
last week i was for a couple of days in thessaloniki and i met with Tasos.. I was more than happy to see that he was ready with a lavta,he was
constructing the last year. It was a special order and he used really high quality materials (woods :old Paduk , abalone sedef, ivory pegs, tortoise
rosettes). As you see the work he did in the detail of the fingerboard , peghead ,rosettes etc. is more than perfect.
And the most important this lavta sounds really fantastic.
Some fotos for you

Wow would you look at that!! - congratulations on this - I have a Tasos oud so appreciate what a wonderful instrument this must be. If you could put
a sound file up that would be great - what is to be appreciated is just how good these instruments of Tasos' sound.
Brilliant stuff

Bravo re Taso! Absolutely gorgeous instrument! It reminds me of the Manolis Venios lavta on display in the folk instrument museum by the
Acropolis.
Gorgeous!
Geia sta xeria sou megale!
Niko, na' sai kala!
Take care,
mavrothis

Hello Ihab
As i said unfortunately (for me) im not the owner of this beautiful lavta.I had only the chance to see it as he started constructing it and just after
it was finished so it was like a birth of a baby
You can contact Tasos for more details through his website http://www.theodorakis.name/
And have a nice time in Thessaloniki.
Nikos
