The family of lutes belongs to the plucked chordophones. The best known representative in Europe is the (medieval) lute which as its relatives in China (pipa), Japan (biwa), Greece (laouto) or Hungary (mandora) is most likely a progeny of the Arabian ud whereas the baroque mandoline was developed later as a bastard between a classical lute of the Baroque period and the Neapolitan mandoline of the time. The Swedish mandora is a bass lute developed in the 1990s. The majority of these instruments share the same features: double strings, vaulted body, and a pegbox at right angle to the neck. They ask for virtuoso playing, and the audience will get this from:
Géza Fabri (HUN)
Daniel Fredriksson (SWE)
Adel Salameh (PAL)
Dimitris Varelopoulos (GRE)
Yu Feng Chung (TWN)
Nazia Azzouz (ALG)
Tünde Ivanovics (SER/HUN)
Michael Metzler (DEU)
