Etymology
From Spanish bandurria.
Meanings
-
A plectrum-plucked stringed instrument with a flat-backed pear-shaped body, with twelve strings in six courses in its most common modern form, originating in Spain.
(It should be noted that the flamenco-tinged flourishes by Javier Mas, on bandurria and laúd, were more palatable than the ardently cloying solos by Dino Soldo, on saxophones.)
2009 February 21, Nate Chinen, “Pop Music’s Perpetual Old Man, Now 74, Is Back on the Road”, in New York Times:
- A bird, the black-faced ibis.
