Three-course bouzouki

The shell consists of mulberry staves, with black wooden stripes between them, with the basic floral motif at the junction of the capping rib with the two external ones. Top plate from European spruce, bordered with black and white wooden strips internally, and pieces of ebony and boxwood with similar strips between them externally. The pierced and carved rosette from boxwood is enclosed with the same strip combination. The same motif repeated in close variation on the axis running along the instrument: on the bronze tail piece, at the lower end of ebony finger board, at the twelveth fret, ringing the three peg holes on mulberry head stock and also at the end of that. The movable carved bridge is made from ebony and bone. Movable tied frets and boxwood carved pegs allude to its predecessor. The ebony fingerboard is placed on the same level as the headstock. This is the reason for the existense of the second ebony bridge, after the nut, to guide and retain the strings.
