The pipa is fully available for free. It will need the full version of Kontakt 5 or above to run it though (Native Instruments control this, not me). If you run it in kontakt player, it will time out after 15 minutes i think.

I replaced my second C & G strings on the Mandola with a Higher gauge and tuned them one octave higher ...kinda giving her a 12 string guitar effect .😊🎉 WONDERFUL Explanation & EXQUISITELY Presented Instruction .😊
@EamonCoughlan29 күн бұрын
Nice! My original bouzouki came with the strings in octave pairs but I swapped them for unison very early on. Greek bouzoukis are tuned with the bottom 2 strings in octaves like that, and most cittern players in the modern Swedish tradition have the low strings octaved too.

Helo Im looking for any maker irish bouzuoki maker so , how could I check out ? Where could i find best sound of irish bouzuoki?
@EamonCoughlan2 ай бұрын
My instrument was made by Daniel Hoban www.dhobanguitars.com/ . There are a few well known makers but most of them are quite pricey and have long waiting lists, if the builder is even building any more. Your best bet for value is probably to find someone local. There is an 'Irish Bouzouki forum' on facebook that might have a list of known builders or at least some collective knowledge about builders.
@bearjingle53162 ай бұрын
Have you tried any other brand of bouzoukis that'd you recommend? I'm from Australia so it's slim pickings here.
@EamonCoughlan2 ай бұрын
It depends on your budget. The 'entry level' ones tend to be from Hora in Romania, my first bouzouki was from an online vendor called 'foolfisch' who I think had them made by Hora, maybe to a custom design. It was pretty bad but it was cheap and it had the bouzouki sound, and playable after a good set up. From my limited experience with them, I haven't been impressed by any of the mid-level ones (eg. $1000+ factory models). I think if you're spending more than $1500 you might as well just get a luthier-made instrument because it's going to be orders of magnitude better than those for 2x or so the price. The ideal would probably be to get a decent second hand one relatively cheap on marketplace. Greek bouzoukis are more common (in Melbourne at least) and I see them pretty regularly at $500-1000 though I don't know anything about the quality. If you can afford a few thousand for a new luthier instrument, mine was made by Daniel Hoban in Melbourne and I've been extremely happy with it, Daniel is also a really nice guy to work with.

I‘m from Europe (Germany), which is obvously more bouzouki-ish. The Hora instruments which are from Romania and shipped world wide by Thomann are pretty horrible from my pov (tried two and sent them back the next day). My suggestion if you can’t afford a luthier instrument: Look for the Trinity College zouks (made in Japan), at least the older ones are pretty good if you find one down under (never tried a new one). Fender also had an Irish Bouzouki (Korean made) for a short time some 10+ years back. Not really great, but a really usable instrument with a decent pickup and preamp installed. Both would be around 250 (Fender) to 500 (Trinty) USD second hand.
