The Bouzouki is probably the most recognisable folk instrument out of Greece: eight strings, doubled like a mandolin but tuned like the top of a guitar, long scale neck with a bowl back body. This one came home from a trip to Greece a few years back, and it's in great order. Matsakis have been making bouzouki's for many decades now, and while they're not the faniciest examples around, they do very decent work. The tone is bright and chiming, with a warbling gooey modrange that fills things out nicely. πολύ ευχάριστο\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Matsikas 3M NT \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMade\u003c\/strong\u003e: Greece, Feb 2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSerial\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10\/13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: natural, gloss poly\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-ply Spruce top, 40-ply stave Black Walnut back\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck\u003c\/strong\u003e: Maple, Ebony fretboard, 33mm nut, 670mm scale, deep U shape\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1.325kg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMods\u003c\/strong\u003e: none\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup\u003c\/strong\u003e: none\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.taylorguitars.com\/guitars\/acoustic\/features\/electronics\/expression-system%C2%AE-2\" title=\"Taylor Expression System 2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e: basic case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCosmetic condition notes\u003c\/strong\u003e: minor finish wear.
