    Re: planxtys The Blacksmith

    Garry, I'm not too good at making tabs but just learn stuff by ear a lot and whatnot. My dad on here Jim Baker might be able to tab it out from me sitting down and playing it for him, but I could...

    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...

    Re: planxtys The Blacksmith

    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...

    Re: Manx bouzouki - Barrule

    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.

    Re: octave mandolin

    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...

    Re: Alec Finn's Dio Dinos bouzouki

    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.
  10. Re: Choice between standard and longscale Fylde touchstone bouzou

    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...

    Re: My Newell Bouzouki

    so with carbon fiber rods in the neck, this zouk has no adjustable truss rod? is that common in long scaled instruments these days?

    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 ;)

    Re: Still considered an Irish Bouzouki?

    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...

    Re: Still considered an Irish Bouzouki?

    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...

    Re: Still considered an Irish Bouzouki?

    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...

    Re: Carved Headstock?

    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...

    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...
