Kobza Recordings



Can anyone tell me where I can find recordings of the kobza?  From what I
understand, it is a fretless lute that preceded the tsimbl in klezmer
bands.  I'm a banjoist, and I'm hoping to get some ideas from hearing a
klezmer approach to a finger-picked instrument.  In particular, I'm
interested in finding out where I can get recordings of the kobza tzipturi
style (which can be almost banjo-like).  One name that has been suggested
is Constantine Brailou's recordings, but I'm not sure where to find them. 
I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks, Pete Rushefsky
