This is a bouzouki I made and donated to ZoukFest for their raffle. Roger Landes, the director, thinks highly of it. It is now up on their web site, http://zoukfest.com, and there will be video of Roger and Chipper Thompson playing it "soon" (as of June 2008).

The body is purpleheart, an inexpensive but excellent tone wood, and the top is Sitka spruce. Boxwood bindings complete the simple yet rich look.

Here is what Roger Landes wrote about it:

"This is a beautiful instrument. Deep and complex. Very punchy but not boomy in the bass. Crisp treble all the way to the 22nd fret. Loud enough for tune playing in a session. Set up to play like a dream."

Not for sale obviously, but I could make a similar one.
