Nice comment, as usually. :) The instrument is called a "lyra" and it's the most characteristic of traditional Cretan music (which is still very much alive).
@FondOfGreek violin is a special kind of lyra not the opposite!!!! "The Cretan lyra is closely related to the bowed Byzantine lyra,the ancestor of many European bowed instrumentsThe Byzantine lyra spread westward through Europe with uncertain evolution; a notable example is the Italian lira da braccio, a 15th-century bowed instrument and possibly the predecessor of the modern violin"

I dedicate this song to my father who passed away recently and he loved this song very much.....
And then there is a beautiful smile from the man with the special kind of a violin or a mini cello on the knee........, I waited for it...... :)
:) I was in your channel and I saw that you have videos with and about the lyra... wonderful!
love this,wonderful voice he has!
