This is an arch-top bouzouki in bubinga with a top of old-growth redwood. Bubinga is a beautiful African rosewood which is very dense and hard. Trim and appointments are bloodwood, a dense New World hardwood known for keeping its red color without fading or turning dark.

It has a long scale (similar to a guitar) and is strung in unison pairs. It has a bright, complex, percussive sound which will ring through the loudest session.

Construction features include the usual user-friendly bolt-on neck and X bracing in the top. The neck has a modern 2-way adjustable truss rod.

Appointments include hand made bloodwood bridge, finger rest and tailpiece which will accept both loop-end and and ball-end strings. Gotoh mini tuners with small plastic buttons provide easy tuning and light weight.

Decoration emphasizes the blended reddish tones of the woods. Inlaid ebony Celtic knots on headstock and finger board and black tuners completing the rich, subdued red-and-black color scheme. Finish is low luster satin gel varnish.

This is a great instrument for Celtic music, or to accompany singing.
