The 30s-40s era
Grasping the pre-war character!
Free time during holidays, gave me the ability to generate some more attempts of a pre-war, trixordo bouzouki design.
Due to the limited references I found on pre-war traditional instruments, I created a poll, asking the friends of this blog, to register which of the following designs in their opinion, is more close to the style and character of 30s-40s bouzouki construction.Your input will be appreciated.
1.Pick guard decoration from wood and acrylics.
.
2.Sound hole with wood fillets & pick guard decoration from wood.
.
3.Carved rosette, with wood fillets at the trim of soundboard
.
4.Flower decoration from MOP, & wood fillets at the trim.

Thanks my friend for your positive comments, I found your blog motivated by my interest on the manufacture of the Bouzouki, here in Chile is very difficult to find this instrumento.Mi first bouzouki made by my father, but based on an amateur model
ReplyDeletewhat an awkward fingering.
The other bouzoukis that are seen in the photos are no longer my dispocicion.
Bouzouk now I purchased a Syrian, and I am researching how to transform it into a Greek Bouzouki I seek information on how to incorporate a handle to support it does not bend with the tension of the strings.
I send you some pictures of this tool to know your opinion and experience
regard.
As you can see, I am also a lover of bouzouki music and Greek general.y'm sad that I have not played bouzouki.
