Baglama advice?

Hello, i got a baglama for Christmas and i don't know what to do with it...i googled it, but the information was a bit discombobulating. Can of you knowledgeable people out there give me some advice? Thanks.

What do you need to know about the instrument? How to tune it? How to play it? Could you be just a bit more specific, BI? It will help those who help you. That's the extent of my knowledge about it, other than it is sometimes called a Baby Bouzouki I think.

Well, i don't know anything at all really...tuning would be a good start. I tuned it so it sounds not too bad, but i don't know how it's meant to sound...same goes for playing :0)

Bazoukis are Greek, do you mean Baklava by any chance?

It's not the ass that's the problem. It's the llamas. They keep humping the furniture and crapping everywhere.

No Catspaw, you ignorant turd, it's pronounced bay-GLAMMA. Comes with rhinestones, leopard print spandex and maribou. It's only played in Tampa by retirees from New Jersey.

Sheesh, and I thought you were smart.

Sort of spoils the alpaca baglama pun if you pronounce it that way.

Depending on your known pickin' skills, I would say your friends must have either good taste, or bad souvenir-hunting habits when on vacation. Assuming it's the former, what a neat present!

Now, could anyone come up with a suggestion for the digeridoo my brother gave my husband a couple of Christmases ago? Edmund does not now and is never likely to play the digeridoo: we're Canadians, for Gawdsake, and too set in our ways to start an alternative rock band.

Being an Aussie, I doubt if I could say anything that would not be deleted....
