Thread: Greek bouzouki advice

    where is a good place to get greek zouk's secondhand? I know ebay, but where else? any secondhand places also sell these.

    I know that some have truss rods and some don't, but since there is no trussrod covers on the head, how can you tell if it has one?

    I know that alot of the early zouk players ( irvine and lunny, fin ) used greek instruments so I guess the gdad tuning will work fine as long as the strings are light........is that correct?


    Thanks

    I used to have one and GSAD is fine. They tend to sound better with Octave pairs on the bass strings. Ebay is the only place I've seen them.
