'The small tambal (cymbalum) has become a rare instrument, the musicians have to fix it all the time, there are no strings on sale, the musicians have to adapt guitar strings. Recently we produced a very fine cassette: Old songs from Olt Valley. The cymbalum player, a wonderful musician, had an awful antique instrument, almost destroyed, with a harsh and unpleasant sound (see picture). We couldn’t help him in any way, so we recorded the music like it was, because it was magnificent.'
Speranta Radulescu, Ethnophonie



(4) Misu Langa and Constantin Enache (with 'antique cymbalum')
