  • Are these details incorrect?
  • Greek musical instruments are far more varied than the bouzouki that plucked out the theme to Zorba the Greek . The Greek musical tradition, though heavily influenced by Turkey and Asia, has filtered through the unique Hellenic sensibility. The array of beautiful instruments includes carved Byzantine lyres, ivory lutes and gypsy flutes. (see Museum of Greek Musical Instruments)
