No offense asking. It's an Irish Bouzouki. If you're into string music , like a an octave mandolin (an octave lower) but tuned GDad instead of GDae. The two D's produce a droning sound typical of Celtic music (think of pipes). Ciao
Called a bouzouki only because it has a similar scale length to the Mediterranean instrument by that name, but is otherwise more like a mandolin tuned one octave lower and as the other commenter mentioned, often with the E strings dropped to D.

Doran? Somehow related to the Doran travelling Uilleann Pipers? There certainly is a certain family likeness.

Another treat for the ears…when was the vid recorded?
Thanks....it was recorded around February this year, I think.
Where can we find some sheets and transcriptions of this great music ?
sounds like the song maureen o'hara sang in ,' The quiet man" film
Okay…I’m an idiot:
What kind of mandolin is that?
