    Holy cannelloni, this is amazing! Such an impressive instrument and player. Really liked her song.
    But can't help but wonder...70-something strings - that'll take a while to tune. And it has levers for changing the pitch and the bridge is mounted on fish skin? That's not helping with keeping in tune, isit? :D

    Kanun comes out from the greek word "Κανών" (Kanoon) that means "Rule". It is based in ancient music theory from mathematician Pythagoras.

      Sorry my friend but the word is κανων
      in Greek
      and it is the κανων of Pythagoras
      Do you know anything about Byzantine music ?
      We have the same scales
      We call them ήχους which means sounds
      and you call them makamss
      you are talking to a Greek the Greeks know the divisions in music is in our culture
      our religion and traditional music
      for thousands of years
      This instrument has been found in Ancient Greek places
      In Byzantine pictures you can see the same instruments that we use now
      Pandouris is bouzouki you can find even in ancient statue in Peloponnesus
      Psaltirion kanon you can see it in Byzantine but also is recorded by Pythagoras
      Lagouto pictures also in Byzantine icons
      The truth is that you arabs have ancient civilization
      and deep culture
      You delivered and spread Greek knowledge
      from Andalusia Spain a lot of Greek writes was delivered by you to the west
      you used to be traders and we used to be too
      back before centuries while the north west Europeans used to be with not any progress

      I don’t accept what you say
      about the word
      the world used to be alexandrine
      for centuries
      nobody could add something in Ancient Greek writes
      in 1204 the westerns stole from konstantinoupoli
      the major amount of Ancient Greek writes
      and the rebirth of culture took place after in Europe
      based in Ancient Greek wisdom

    It means law because the name is coming from the Greek word "κανόνας'' which has the meaning of law in ancient Greek also the Greek word expressing this instrument is ''κανονάκι" which has the exact same meaning.
    The origin of this instrument must be from Israel, I am not 100% sure.
    This kind of music system with sub-notes originates and was established in Byzantium in approx. 800 A.D.
