I love the sharpened 4th. Raag multani has this and the flat 2nd. In Vlach/aromanian music they use a similar mode but with the natural 2nd.
Some of the sliding here is from the hindustani style. But Hungarian music is where I first found the sharpened 4th so available. It has this straining intensity that some people hate. I find it thrilling. Thanks for sharing the strange musical journey with me.

I keep forgetting to mention I have modified this lyre to have 1 sympathetic string which is tuned to the sharp 4th. It carries the note into other parts of the tune. So the 4th drones slightly more throughout.
I’ll show the sympathetic modification in my next video.

From reading the description, it's evident that you have an appreciation for Indian classical music. I personally have not met another person who shares my love for Northern European and South Asian music traditions so this is very nice to see. Keep playing, brother!
