and here's a picture of the infamous Yorgos Magas. I don't really like his style (too much showing off, let alone the costume thing). there many traditional clarinet players in greece and the balkans that are way better. Let me also note, that the clarinet and other wind instruments are not native to balkans. they became traditional instruments only after the 18 century or so (w/ the coming of european armies in the area). Ther balkan usage of the instrument is quite different from the classical one.

There are some multi-brass bands in the villages near the borders of Macedonia and Greece that are *EXCELLENT*. pure bliss.
