The bandura's harpsichord-like sound is both delicate and assertive. Maryna's instrument has an astonishing 64 strings stretched over a single piece of wood, with 13 bass strings stretched along a short, fretless neck, and the remaining treble strings stretched across a large soundboard. She plays the bass set with her left hand, while the right plays across the prodigious treble array. In addition to being a masterful instrumentalist, Maryna's striking, powerful voice soars in an acoustic setting, whether with a string quartet or solo.
Early bandurists were male balladeers who travelled from village to village; early in her career, says Maryna, "I dyed my hair pink, painted my nails black, wore leather jackets and started to play the bandura in a more modern, jazzy and funky way" (Vogue Australia). Now she's stretching her style back toward the bandura's folk roots. "[Her music] represents the DNA of Ukrainian culture, in all its styles, classic and very modern" (Ouest France).
