The four course Tzouras
Concept design!
Tzouras usually constructed as a three course instrument. The tradition and philosophy of tzoura, wants its body to be stringed and tuned as trichordo bouzouki.
In my attempt to create a four course tzoura, I created a concept design of my kitharo-tzourado (guitar-tzouras), as I like to call it. The neck is a little shorter than the four course bouzouki, due to its longer body, which is a combination of tzoura and guitar shape with a flat back. It carries three sound holes, and a floral design of MOP on the pick guard.
I have the intention, in my future attempts, to create a body which isn't completely flat, but at the moment I am facing technical problems constructing such an idea.
Your feedback as always is welcome.
