Here is a brief description and sound sample of my 2003 Peter Abnett Bouzouki. I was drawn to this instrument because of the dished back which practically "shoots" the sound out of the sound hole. This certainly fixed my issue of not being heard...in a session. Also the "Jangly"(if that's a word) tone mixes wonderfully with the modal nature of a lot of Irish tunes. Some mistakes in my rendition of Lord Inchiquin..but I am too lazy to do take after take to try and improve it.. Slainte Dale
Broken link to video...I'll try again shortly...Sorry Dale
One moe try.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z9Bjs...e_gdata_player
Well done Dale for putting up a video and giving us a rendition. I hope that more bouzouki players are encouraged to do the same. It will give others a taste of what they might expect from each instrument and what might be played on the Irish Bouzouki. I will be putting up another tune this coming weekend. I might start a balkan thread just for fun. Cheers Nic
Really nice playing Dale! Love the Abnett zouk... I always wanted one for no other reason than Donal Lunny played them. Beautiful instruments, and they sound as good as they look. Kyle
