Hello folks,

That just looks loud. Any idea about price in US currency Alekos?

[Alekos]

The price will be from 450USD, but i don't know exactly; I must ask the builder..

If those are the price you said, 450$USD could you find out for sure and how we can get them. What more do you know about the quality of this instrument? Have you ever played one?

[Alekos]

Sharp eye Jacob! I've posted all the links to a Czech builders to the Scott before some time. Hope it will be helpfull to you all..

Anyway I'm in direct contact with Olda Bauer; that means until Olda will get some dealer in the USA I will be his contact man.

I will have all the actual informations you need in few days

[pickinBob]

Is there a specification sheet for these? Cant seem to find any info on the web site.

The informations about this bouzouki was given to me before some time (directly from the Luthier), I'm afraid, that the luthier don't make bouzoukis more - he is fully busy by making irish harps and hurdy-gurdys http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif Look at the Jan Klima - also in the CBOM section..
