how does this beautiful instrument play compared to an algerian luthier made instruments? thanks

I am Greek I live in Vienna and my best friend is Irish

הי מה נשמע? אתה עוד מביא לארץ גיטרות מ פורטוגל, או יכול להיות נשאר לך משהו במלאי מאז אקוסטית או קלאסית של APC?

What obnoxiously loud music!

I might have done the comparison with the Fat switch on since I think that's gonna get you closer in tone.

bien suena,he pedido una

Hi-Z sounds weak

Can you tune an Irish bouzouki in the greek tuning?

what is the name of this music?

The 96c set is great or 17"guitalele in G# or A, but is also great for 20" guitalele (Codoba Mini M) in F or F#! 😎👍 And today it's less expansive than 4-5 years ago (about 10€) 😃

There is something about the sound of the Irish bouzouki that reflects the punctured soul of the Irish people. But the exquisitely twangy sound of the Greek reflects what it means to be Greek. To those unaccustomed to the sound of a Greek bouzouki, it could come across as harsh and without nuance. And yet, it stands among the most recognized sounds in the world, as it defines human passion like nothing else. Think of Anthony Quinn teaching his friend how to dance in the last scene of Zorba the Greek. The sheer joy he expresses as his song plays on! As a Greek, my partiality to the Greek bouzouki should be understandable, for I "get it." But I welcome the sound emanating from that of the Irish. It smooths out the rough edges of the traditional bouzouki, and in so doing presents a new dimension to what bouzouki music entails. Greek bouzouki is not misty-eyed, but brutally honest. Its distant Irish cousin leans more into the sound of a mandolin, lending sentimentality its dignity. And as for the instrument itself, the Greek bouzouki must be coaxed it to produce its optimal sound. This is not easy, but so rewarding once done well. Yet, without question, the Irish take should be regarded as evolutionary, destined to travel far and wide and conquer the hearts of those it encounters in its journey.

greek is bouzuki men irish is one kind of copy

The Gear HQ The Silverback Strings sound more "Bassey". They're made like Classical Guitar strings in that they're Nylon wrapped in Metal.

Thank you so much ❤😅..

Useless video… poor job of clearly comparing…. Didn’t even name them or anything

Music choice at the start could've been better, but I can't complain about The Rumjacks too much.

Yes, the genealogy is the difference. Bandolim - arose from portuguese guitar. Mandolin - arose from violin in USA and Canada and was shaped as a trying to get a violin without bow, using just the hands. As we can see, the mandolin is a hidden fiddle, which discharged the bow.

It has a nice Ring to it

Open G

Long Live Johnny St Cyr

The Gear HQ It Jangles.

This applies to other instruments with Watch Key tuners like the Waldzither and English Guittar.

Where can one get this special tool? What’s it called?

Settings Pots Not the Same !

The greek one wins by a landslide imo

I prefer the VHD, on and off, over the dry or six. Fuller and more depth, still presence. Transients are a bit smoother and more listenable. Sounds closer to a “record”. Clean and six would take more work to “get there”

Western Germany? Southwestern?

This is tuned C, G, D, A like a Mandola

It's essentially a Steel String Version of the Genovese Mandolin.

0:45 1:06

YES we would love to hear a shootout of vox throuGh both of these as well! =].

This happens to be a set of 11s

Yuck! Are you playing that shit with a guitar pick? 🤢 jk you're really playing it on hard mode for no reason though 😂

Is this recording directly into the line or through the amp? Direct to soundcard?

לא עדיף לקנות גיטרה חדשה?😊

I'm not sure that this was a fair comparison, as the bandolim seemed to be of a higher build and material quality than the Fender.

The Klon sounds thicker. I prefer it, but the Zeus is nice too at the price.

both sound dead....get octave strings

I'd like a Greek bouzouki with a flat back. Quite difficult to find

Neat & we have string sets for it

Greek better

This is tuned like a Guitar w/ a capo on the 4th Fret but it can be tuned like a Guitar w/ a capo on the 3rd Fret aka Terz Tuning

Thanks for sharing this 👍 how are you finding the fredenstein bento?

Pretty close if you ask me - biggest difference is the output on the Klon Centaur is hotter - but I don't really find this to be a problem on the Zeus. You didn't show it, but the FAT switch makes the Zeus a bit more versatile than most low-cost klones. I really like mine.

As an Irishman, I'm sad to say I prefer the tone of the Greek bazooka. 😂

Thanks
