Βaglamas (Greek μπαγλαμάς)


Βaglamas (Greek μπαγλαμάς) or baglamadaki (μπαγλαμαδάκι), 

a long necked bowl-lute, is a plucked string instrument used in Greek music. 

Ιt is a version of the bouzouki pitched an octave higher. Its small size made it particularly popular with musicians who needed an instrument transportable enough to carry around easily or small enough to shelter under a coat. 

The name comes from Turkish bağlama, a similar instrument.
