| | Acoustic Guitar Central: The Bouzouki's Long Journey from Rembetika to Rock 'n' Roll and Beyond |
 | | The earliest bouzoukis are very similar to the contemporary Turkish saz, and the bouzouki appellation was probably derived from the Turkish name for the mid-sized bozouk saz. |
 | | Bouzoukis have also been adopted by pop and rock guitarists looking for a different sound, and the twang of double courses has graced albums by Jackson Browne, R.E.M., Tom Petty, and scores of other mainstream acts. |
 | | There is general consensus about what constitutes a Greek bouzouki in its traditional and modern incarnations, and the mandola and mandocello have specific definitions within the confines of classical mandolin ensembles, but outside of that, nomenclatural pandemonium reigns. |
