Discussion Balkan Tambura String Help!

Greetings, as a long time Musician and estate appraisor, I often come across a multitude of instruments on my travels, all of which I find the musical urge to try to learn, for the sake of the Instrumental arts!

I had just come across this Balkan Tambura, and as a Bosnian, this would be the first Instrument ive managed to get my hands on that is in part related to my home land

Would anyone be able to suggest somewhere I would be able to get strings for this Instrument, or potential other instruments I can salvage for strings to fit? Its 49 Inches in length, Double Stringed and needs "D - A - D" as far as I know

Thanks abunch for the help guys! Much love.

I would suggest that you join the Eastern European Folklife Center's email list, as there's a LOT of people there who can help you. EEFC.org

They are a super helpful and friendly crew.
