- Just a quick demo of the Thomann Irish Bouzouki M1089 made by Hora in Romania. It's a great little instrument for the price and a lot of fun to play.
You must have reached a respectable age! ;-) - I do have this tune (the one he's trying to reproduce) on at least one album of Renaissance music. I did try to find it on my Spotify playlists (created 1:1 from albums), but I failed. Still, I may have it by Camerata Hungarica and/or Elena Polonska.
WOW~~~You played so well!!! The song is beautiful😊😊😊 Is it possible that you could share its Standard Notation Staff - Tab? (I'm a bouzouki beginner...😄)
Hello, this is great! What type of strings do you use ? We're gonna buy this model of bouzouki and we heard that the strings given with the instrument are not quite good. Thank you :)
Hi Steven, glad you liked it. I'm still using the ones that came on the instrument but bought some D'Addario EJ81 Irish Bouzouki strings with it for when they do eventually need replacing.
Thanks, glad you liked it. This is the only bouzouki I've ever played and I'm not very knowledgeable about them, but looking at the price of the Carvalho it seems decent value for an instrument handmade in Portugal by a small business. If you can't play one in person check out some reviews/videos if there are any out there. Depending on what kind of music you want to play you could also have a look at Greek bouzoukis or octave mandolins. They're pretty much the same instrument just with a different scale length and slightly different sounds.
@@JohnJones-qy5ko It came like that. My only criticism of this model is the V neck profile which I'm not a fan of. Other than that it's decent for the price.
@@jackbeckett2838 Thanks, that's good to know. I saw a video of a guy who bought the concert model, which apparently comes with octave strings, then he converted it. I would rather just buy this model, and it's $100 less too.
I only buy and use octave strings, Octave string said loud and clear that its a bouzouki and not a guitar, if you want to play the guitar by all means buy and enjoy the guitar. The bouzouki has a sound all its own and if that is a sound you like please learn, play and enjoy any of the many bouzoukis out in the world today. You can go to any pawn shops and pick up several guitars for $100. dollars or so but even finding a bouzouki in a pawn shop would be a surprise! Remember you never put street tires on a race car so only put bouzouki strings on a Irish bouzouki, makes since I think. All so I own and play a Fender Irish Bouzouki, almost a one of a kind I'm thinking as I've never seen or heard about another Fender Irish Bouzouki. If someone knows or has seen or listened to one someplace please advise me here or a new thread on Mandolin Cafe's message board. C - U around picking and grinning!
Hi Johannes, glad you enjoyed. The bouzouki is the Thomann M1089 Irish bouzouki as in the title and video description. Bear in mind it has a V neck profile so if you're coming from playing guitar or another stringed instrument, and depending on your preference, it may take a bit of getting used to.
Love the mic holder...
Where there's a will there's a way 💪
That Ensiferum t-shirt deserves a thumbs up. ❤️
As do you for noticing it 😁 I have a couple Ensi covers if you're interested too
@@jackbeckett2838 That's what i hoped you had !
What do they make?
Great job and great tune
nicely performed!
Love this version brother!
Very beautiful
Wow, what an amazing sound, reminds me of the middle ages

Awesome job.
This is both awesome and underrated
Nice! Wonderful cover!
This is so lovely :D
Lovely!!!
That Trine OST ❤
Damn, its so good:D
Bonita música y buen sonido. Y muy bien tocado.
Gracias!
Now I want to buy one 😄
Nice!!
Awesome! Awesome! Can you make a video teaching this ? Thanks
WOW~~~You played so well!!! The song is beautiful😊😊😊 Is it possible that you could share its Standard Notation Staff - Tab? (I'm a bouzouki beginner...😄)
Thank you for your comment. I don't have any sheet music for it as I learnt it by ear, sorry! You might find something online though
@@jackbeckett2838 Se agradeceria, el tema es muy bonito .... Tengo el mismo Hora..

What song is this? Great playing!!
Amazing
Wish I have tabs for it ....
Thanks, I have none unfortunately. Slow the video down and have a go figuring it out by ear 😉 It's one of the most useful skills you can develop.
This is really nice! I've been thinking of getting a bouzouki for a while, do you have any thoughts or experience with Carvalho PTB308 bouzuoukis?
Thanks, glad you liked it. This is the only bouzouki I've ever played and I'm not very knowledgeable about them, but looking at the price of the Carvalho it seems decent value for an instrument handmade in Portugal by a small business.

Rather good! I see it has a zero fret
That's beautiful. Very medieval sounding. Are those octave strings or unison?
Thank you. They're unison.
@@jackbeckett2838 Did it come that way, or did you have to file the bridge and nut to fit the thicker strings? I'm thinking of getting one.
@@JohnJones-qy5ko It came like that. My only criticism of this model is the V neck profile which I'm not a fan of. Other than that it's decent for the price.

Nice! I'm a beginning bouzouki player but intermediate guitar player. This is my next song / challenge. I'm just gonna copy you. lol
It's a fun instrument to learn, enjoy!
Do you have it tuned GDAD?
@@robertcollard5044 Yes, for this I was using GDAD but use GDAE too for other songs.
@@robertcollard5044 Hi Friend! Do You have taba for this melody. I bought Bouzouki 2 days ago. Wanna learn this melody first)
@@biglebowskidude I do not. I started to learn this by ear and watching the video.
Hello Jack nice play
I Wonder which kind of bouzouki are playing in the video? I would like to order one
Regards johannes

I have this one too. Great sound and value for money. Tuned GDAD like my mandolin
Can you give tabs, please🙏🙏🙏 I'm at the beginning of playing at bouzuki. Can't understand some chords.

GDAD I think. Either that or GDAE
