I always got a kick out of those old videos. The music is amazing. During the mominsko horo they are rocking out so hard the instruments might catch fire! The audience... Still as a stone. Barely a...
I wrote out that tab for the blacksmith a while back. Sorry if it's a bit sketchy, I wrote it as I play it on the GDAD bouzouki. With a tune like that, it's almost impossible to tab it right with...
Very talented! He really rocks his tenor banjo. I liked this set of jigs.

Wow, just checked some of these videos. These guys are fantastic! I particularly enjoyed a set of jigs and reels called Timmy Clifford's Jig, The Carrsies (Ian Carr) Jig and The Prince of Wales Reel....
Awesome! Great trio, and nice looking zouk. I watched for the zouk, but was also very impressed by the accordion playing! I'll be checking out more Barrule for sure.
I have a floating bridge bouzouki as well as a shorter scaled zouk with a guitar style pin bridge. I'm really happy with the pin bridge setup. It looks very clean, and was well set up so I have no...
I had a Hora for a short time... wasnt that thrilled with it. I also own a trinity college which is far better than a Hora, and a Jack Spira bouzouki which trumps everything else I own, but not...
Great video Kevin! And I've gotta say I love you and Alec's duo on The Glendaruel Highlanders... just blows me away every time I hear it.
I learned to play melodies quite decently on a long scale bouzouki. My newer zouk is a bit shorter at 620mm, and I find it still sounds great and "jangly" but I still feel it's a stretch, but this...
looks kinda crazy... hahaha
so with carbon fiber rods in the neck, this zouk has no adjustable truss rod? is that common in long scaled instruments these days?
that's a really nice one!! Love the herringbone :) Good luck with the sale
I own a CAD U37 usb condenser mic, and have been using it for well over a year now. I was hoping maybe someone else who owns one could chime in with personal experience.
The thing I notice with the...
I joined in a local session a while back a a pub in Prescott Ontario. It was usually a fairly small group, led by a fiddle player who would start the tunes and signal tune changes or endings with her...
I can't believe this thread is still going... both sides can only argue the same points over and over so many times. Maybe when this thread gets to page 5 we can still see if people are talking about...
Kevin, not only does your camera work, but you can really rock that bouzouki! That's some of the best playing I've seen in a while! Nice Greek zouk too ;)
What are the names of the tunes you played,...
The bouzouki that Alec Finn plays is definitely Greek, there's no debating since he always stayed with a bowl back. His zouk is an older-style trixordo three course (six string) instruments tuned...
I'm guilty like Andy Irvine... I own 2 zouks, a tenor banjo and a mandolin... all are tuned GDAD. Also, one zouk is a long scale trinity college, and my other has the same scale length as an acoustic...
What about the fact that GDAD is a tuning widely used by flat backed BOUZOUKI players, and not usually by octave mandolin players. I know some people will play GDAD on their octave mandolins, but...
Another bouzouki builder with carved head stocks, similar to Joe Foley, is Peter Abnett.
He built bouzoukis for Donal Lunny of Planxty, and it is argued he may have built the first flat back...
darn right! they are slightly different, but if builders have signature looks, these two zouks could be brothers!
saw this a while back. There's some really nice music on this episode.
Wow, I just wanted to say that for an unknown bouzouki, it looks like quite a nice one! Sorry I have no idea's though... maybe an early instrument from a small time builder?
Good luck on your...
I play a lot of melodies on my octave strung TC bouzouki and I always liked the sound. Now I have another zouk with unison strings, and it's great too, but both different sounds. I guess it depends...
