Registering the 1911 Anastasios Stathopoulos dimensions

Just before ordering a custom 1910s style, case !

Few months ago, the need for the creation of a custom case for the Anastasios Stathopoulos 1911 bouzouki, prompted me to register the exact dimensions of this historical musical instrument..

And since until now, these dimensions were not publicly available I thought to share them with all the loyal followers of this blog.

The widest part of the soundboard measures 23 cm, and the maximum length 35.5 cm (including tailpiece)



The width of the soundboard at the sound-hole height, is 18.5 cm

The total length of the neck from the bowl connection to the nut, is 40.5 cm
