Irish bouzoukis typically have flat backs. Its sound is ringing and jangly.īouzoukis, especially electric ones (like the one pictured here, which has no soundholes), may have flat backs. The version of the bouzouki with the four courses of strings predominates now because it is more condusive to playing Western melodies. Nowadays, a popular tuning for three-course bouzoukis is d-a-d.
The modern Greek tuning is d-a-f-c (top to bottom), the upper two courses in unison, the lower two in octaves. It may have three or four double courses (pairs) of metal strings, tuned e-b'-e' and d-g-b-e respectively. Traditionally, it has a carved wood or carvel-built bowl resonator (now exclusively carvel-built) shaped something like a wide teardrop, movable gut frets (now fixed metal frets), and wooden tuning pegs (now metal tuning heads). (At some point, it was the same instrument as the saz, but the two then diverged the Turkish saz evolved into the Greek bouzouki, which in turn evolved into the smaller Greek baglama.) The bouzouki is a Greek long-necked lute the 19th-century version of it is identical to the Turkish bouzouk. click here for g eneral resources for further information īouzouki (also spelled bazouki Turkish: bouzouk)
