Bandor

The Bandor is a Brunanter stringed instrument similar to the Spanish Bandurria or the mandore, primarily used in classic and folk music. The bandor is a Brunanter variant of the bandurria, originating in the 14th century in Brunant, via it's introduction by the medieval Spanish-Brunanter settlers (the Barzuna). This instrument has maintained the curved back and ten-strings as made in the baroque period, while the bandurria was changed to 12 strings and a flat back.

The bandor was one of the principal instruments for playing Banduriana, Fandango and early Jitanès music.
