Baglama (Greek) → Baglamas — The most customary name in English for this instrument is Baglamas. I tried {{db-move}} for what I thought would be an uncontroversial move, but for reasons I don't understand ("perfectly legitimate as a redirect") this was declined.  --Lambiam 14:17, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

References for Greek Government destruction.

The fact that the government arrested people and smashed the instruments is interesting, and I have heard a similar story before. However, it needs to be referenced, or at least explained in more detail, which should explain which government and the reason that the a Greek Government would destroy Greek folk instruments. Was it the Turkish history of the instruments? Was it a communist government that seen folk musicians as subversive types? More information is needed to support this sentence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raszoo (talk • contribs) 01:14, 13 March 2017 (UTC)

I believe it was the government headed by general Metaxas, who,far from being communist, was extremely right wing. However, I have no sources for this, have never edited here, and am reluctant to start now...it would be good if someone more experienced could check this please. 82.69.45.81 (talk) 19:52, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
