The bandura appears to be complex. One frets to play the twelve chromatically-tuned bass notes, but the chromatically-tuned treble notes are not fretted. Something like a combination of a chromatically-tuned twelve string guitar and an autoharp, without the buttons for chords. And there is a set of switches that are used to change the pitch of the treble strings in the middle of a piece. A walk-through that I stumbled across:

I could say it sounds creative, and at same time have a positive touch of weirdness (in the good way). But I can resume saying it's the perfect music for this band:

Of course this could be named Cacophony 3 too, because I have made Cacophony one and two before Well, you all know I’m an experimenter.

Thank you Beto-Music, you inspired me to give it a try I'm an experimenter.

Thank you so much Beto-Music for your nice comments. I always admire your wonderful humor. …”creative, and at same time have a positive touch of weirdness…..”.

This gives me the creative idea, that my Video Contest contribution this year should be composed in at least the same style but even better (it is only four months to the competition ! )

My temporary guitar exp. 2

I noticed, that in my experiment the chords became the same as in Creedence Clearwater Revival’s (CCR) piece Green River 1969

That's fun, it's like a 1980s 8/16 bit video game theme.
The Hohner clavinet model also lends itself to similar experimentation.

Thank you Key Fumbler for your kind comment. I appreciate your taking the time to listen.
And thanks for the Clavinet idea

Some may wonder if this is more a guitar or an harp. but it's called bandura.
