Incidentally, the spacey echo where Ed says "Listen to this" is NOT on the original recording. Strange!

Do you mean a Greek baglama, or a baglama saz? If you mean the latter, you win the no-prize. It's actually the divan saz on the left of the picture, being played by Ali Fuat Aydin.

The tune is Jedi Kule, a Greek song about a prison.-

Well, Tom was so close I thought it was near enough. Besides, if I had to get into the classifications of all the different kinds of saz, and baglama, we would be here all day...
