The one shown in profile, although it isn’t very clear, might perhaps have only a few frets (with the last one a whole tone away from the preceding one, as on others we’ve seen). The other one, meanwhile, is fully fretted apart from the fret for the first semitone—quite a different design! (Unless it has been worn away.)
In the slang of hashish smokers, these are called baglamadakia. (So what are they called otherwise? 
)
Musical instruments (baglamadakia, in the slang dialect of hashish smokers), with which the dens where the means for smoking hashish are provided are usually equipped; to their sounds, and under the influence of hashish, they sing special quatrains and dance the “zeibekiko”.
Mostly, these quatrains refer to the hashish smokers’ opposition to the police authorities (illegible) and their life in prison… From the collection of the Criminological Museum of the Athens Department of General Security…
It probably says “or their livelihood”
Yes, it very clearly says “or the”, after two items that had already been written were scribbled over.
That’s exactly what I’m seeing too.
Perhaps tied frets? You can make out some white lines on the black neck, roughly at the expected intervals.
Good evening, everyone. I’m new here.
I found two videos related to the subject. In both videos, Giorgos Mouflouzelis can be seen playing a pre-war baglamas which, as he says himself, was made in the 19th century. I suspect that most of the frets were added later.
1st video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyRQdalqaEc (Mouflouzelis and the baglamas can be seen from 5:52
2nd video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKuab4sJkMY
Nice! We’ve come across the second video somewhere before (perhaps in a thread about douzenia, or about Mouflouzelis), or else we’ve seen another one from the same programme. In any case, I remember both the instrument and Goles accompanying him.
It’s good to have it here too.
Yes, that does indeed seem likely.
