Just a quick demo of the Thomann Irish Bouzouki M1089 made by Hora in Romania. It's a great little instrument for the price and a lot of fun to play.

You must have reached a respectable age! ;-) - I do have this tune (the one he's trying to reproduce) on at least one album of Renaissance music. I did try to find it on my Spotify playlists (created 1:1 from albums), but I failed. Still, I may have it by Camerata Hungarica and/or Elena Polonska.

@@jackbeckett2838 Thanks, that's good to know. I saw a video of a guy who bought the concert model, which apparently comes with octave strings, then he converted it. I would rather just buy this model, and it's $100 less too.

@MrPHart Жыл бұрын

I only buy and use octave strings, Octave string said loud and clear that its a bouzouki and not a guitar, if you want to play the guitar by all means buy and enjoy the guitar. The bouzouki has a sound all its own and if that is a sound you like please learn, play and enjoy any of the many bouzoukis out in the world today. You can go to any pawn shops and pick up several guitars for $100. dollars or so but even finding a bouzouki in a pawn shop would be a surprise! Remember you never put street tires on a race car so only put bouzouki strings on a Irish bouzouki, makes since I think. All so I own and play a Fender Irish Bouzouki, almost a one of a kind I'm thinking as I've never seen or heard about another Fender Irish Bouzouki. If someone knows or has seen or listened to one someplace please advise me here or a new thread on Mandolin Cafe's message board. C - U around picking and grinning!

@Dulaman107 Жыл бұрын

This is really nice! I've been thinking of getting a bouzouki for a while, do you have any thoughts or experience with Carvalho PTB308 bouzuoukis?

@jackbeckett2838 Жыл бұрын

Thanks, glad you liked it. This is the only bouzouki I've ever played and I'm not very knowledgeable about them, but looking at the price of the Carvalho it seems decent value for an instrument handmade in Portugal by a small business. If you can't play one in person check out some reviews/videos if there are any out there. Depending on what kind of music you want to play you could also have a look at Greek bouzoukis or octave mandolins. They're pretty much the same instrument just with a different scale length and slightly different sounds.

Do you have any advice at how to get started learning this instrument? I bought one months ago and I'm learning some basic chords but I have a few concerns. Firstly is that I'm left handed and I've been having myself learn right handed for this. I have no prior experience with any stringed instruments so this wasn't much of a problem for me, however I have struggled a lot using my right hand to pick and I've read on other forums that left handed players who play right handed will never be able to develop their picking hand to the level they could if they played left handed. And with the bouzouki it looks from the videos I've seen to be damn near impossible to play well without an extremely dexterous picking hand. It's rather intimidating for someone who can barley get through an alternating picking pattern at the slowest possible pace. This is also pretty much the first instruments I'm learning in general, and I'm not sure if my lack of knowledge of music as a whole also serves as a massive handicap. Again any advice would be really appreciated. Right now it just feels like I have no effective plan for getting closer to my goals. Thanks if you read all this.

@jackbeckett2838 5 ай бұрын

If your bouzouki's bridge is straight (not staggered for intonation) you could swap the strings round to make it left handed. If it does have a staggered bridge it could still work but you might have intonation issues (going out of tune as you play up the neck). If this is the case the only thing you can really do is buy a left-handed instrument. You'd definitely save a lot of time and enjoy it more playing the way you're naturally oriented. Lack of knowledge of music as a whole is natural for every beginner, and comes with practice and growing your vocabulary as you learn. The most important tool for anyone learning an instrument is to develop your ear. If you can hum a tune, you can find the notes for it on an instrument, and with practice this will save you a lot of time and develop your ability to pick up songs like it's nothing. Chords take a bit longer to learn by ear, but once you've learnt the basic major/minor chords from tabs/charts/videos etc, you'll get a feel for where the notes are as the chord shapes stay the same, just the position moves. Aside from training your ear (which mainly comes with time and attention to detail), the best way to grow your vocabulary is to learn the songs you like. Chords and scales etc are all well and good, but I think it's best to learn them in the context of the music you like. It's much more compelling that way, inspires you to keep going, and gives you direction in where to start/where to go next. Hope this helps, if you have any other questions feel free to ask away.

@jackbeckett2838 5 ай бұрын

Just a correction to my previous comment - if you have a staggered bridge and it isn't fixed you could just buy a left-handed bridge and swap the strings round rather than needing to buy a left-handed instrument

@JackL-lv3he 5 ай бұрын

@@jackbeckett2838 Stupid question incoming (remember I'm not too knowledgeable at this stage) What do you mean by staggered vs straight? When I look at my bridge it does seem that the bass strings will only fit on the left side of the bridge and the higher strings will only fit on the right side. Is that what is meant by staggered? The same goes for the nut.

@jackbeckett2838 5 ай бұрын

@@JackL-lv3he I don't know if they're actually called staggered, but in this context I mean the part of the bridge the string sits on will be closer or further away from the nut. Search "Irish bouzouki bridge" and you'll see what I mean. My one is straight, meaning all the strings sit the same distance from the nut. Good point about the nut/bridge slots being different sizes. You'd need a new nut for the strings to fit the other way, unless you're willing to do a bit of DIY. If your nut is straight like mine, you can just rotate it the other way to match the strings. That's the cheapest option. Either that or just get a left-handed bouzouki.

@jackbeckett2838 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Johannes, glad you enjoyed. The bouzouki is the Thomann M1089 Irish bouzouki as in the title and video description. Bear in mind it has a V neck profile so if you're coming from playing guitar or another stringed instrument, and depending on your preference, it may take a bit of getting used to.
