Bouzouki’s characteristic sound is well known all over the world, especially associated with syrtaki dance,  and Greek summer. With eight or six cords,  bouzouki to be made,  two things are mainly needed: materials of excellent quality and technicians skilled with preciseness and finesse.

We know these requirements.  That’s why we select, for our bouzoukis, many years before they are to be used,  the trunks which will be cut. We keep them in special warehouses, where, after they dry, they will be cut and selected again, according to the use, they are designated for.

For the vessel of the bouzouki, we prefer walnut, box elder  and beech wood.
These woods are mainly advised for bouzoukis, because of their acoustic performance, their tensile strength and resistance in time. The bouzoukis covers are selected from special   spruces,  which reproduce maximum acoustic vibrations. Their color is so beautiful that can stand by itself as a natural jewel.

But we usually take special care to cover  them with combinations of deferent plastics or natural seashells,  for both protection and decoration.  Among the most preferred designs are the ones with themes from Ancient Greece,  like Hermes and Afrodite,  Dionysos and the Muses, vines,  lyres,  dolphins and of course Meandros all around the bouzouki cover.

The head of the bouzouki, made of box elder or beech wood,  is  decorated, like the bouzouki cover.  It supports the keys, on which the cords are tightened. Between the bouzouki cover and the bouzouki head, is the bouzouki sleeve,  for which,  each manufacturer chooses different materials and particular techniques. 

Our choices allow us to ensure you that our bouzouki sleeves do not spring, as long as you follow our instructions. Different plastic or sea sell designs,  decorate the bouzouki tastieras, which are made of  black ebony or other hard woods of African origin. Bouzouki cords are made of plain steel, not stainless steel, with different diameters depending on the tune.

All these, according to the constructing combinations, that our technicians choose, especially for each bouzouki, will constitute a united ensemble, which will produce the kind of sound we desire and the durability we demand.

 Prices are analogous to the work is needed to finish a bouzouki and of course the cost of the materials that are used.
