Georgetown University professor, Dr. James Millward, discusses the ancestors of the guitar, viola, mandolin, and other members of the stringed instrument family that hail from Central Eurasia and traveled both east and west along what we call the "Silk Road." Silk Road interactions involved more than the conveyance of a thing from point A to point B; these conversations laid the shared substratum of old world civilization and continue to resonate today.
