Classical Kemence- Filiz Bodur

I had the great opportunity to meet Filiz Bodur, a kemencevi (kemence player) from Canakkale, Turkey. She played and sang beautiful traditional Turkish songs for me, allowing me to see the technique used for this demanding instrument first hand. It's played by stopping the strings with your nails, unlike any instrument I've seen. Check it out:
