Nowadays, the Cretan lute, which is tuned differently from island and mainland lutes, accompanies other traditional Cretan musical instruments, such as the lyra or violin. In the past, however, it had moving frets (<em>berdelidiko<\/em>), enabling musicians in western Crete (Chania-Kissamos) to use it even as a solo instrument and allowing them to cover even major festivals using just that instrument.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-89fa3f2 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"89fa3f2\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-83841fc\" data-id=\"83841fc\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0b5c360 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0b5c360\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/amargianakis-archive.lib.uoc.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/VIOLIN-qa1050grsse6fdleyfalr5k1igf5q7s6toilcuhb3c.jpg\" title=\"VIOLIN\" alt=\"VIOLIN\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cdc2cc8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cdc2cc8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Violin  <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-13b48fa elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"13b48fa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This instrument is considered to be Italian in origin and its use in traditional music of Crete is a testament to the influence of Italy.
