The Do-Sol-Do (C-G-C) tuning
Gives a husky and sweet timbre!
As the "Memories of the innocent age" are preparing to welcome an important master luthier with a very interesting article, I found the opportunity to post a small video from all the states of my A/I Stathopoulos bouzouki construction, accompanied by its sound (played with feather quill).

These days I tuned my bouzouki in Do-Sol-Do (C-G-C), which could have been one of the many bouzouki tuning set-up during the prewar period. (The position of the original Stathopoulos fret-markers indicates such a tuning)
Other prewar period tuning could have been D-G-D, D-A-D, D-G-G, D-G-A, D-G-B, D-G-A, E-A-D
I received a professional nylon oud plectrum and I recorded a short sound sample.The tuning Do-Sol-Do, gives a more husky and exceptionally sweet timbre!
I also noticed that the musical instrument's bowl and soundboard under this tuning, synchronized and oscillates even more (than the Re-La-Re tuning) producing a loud, deep beat on my stomach while I keep and play with it.
