The Irish Bouzouki

                                 Back

Bouzouki		 Introduced into Irish music in the mid 60's by Johnny Moynihan (Sweeney's Men) in Dublin and by Alex Finn (De Danaan) in Galway, the Bouzouki has fast become an established and popular instrument from Greece. The Irish Bouzouki has evolved into a flat backed, tear dropped shape with guitar like scale length, much more user friendly.
I was commissioned to make this bouzouki for a friend of mine in Ireland. With a carved back and and top in figured maple and engleman spruce, it produces a very rich and full sound ideal for both accompaniment and solo use.
