	Han's Irish Bouzouki Homepage.
		I have chosen to dedicate a page to the Irish bouzouki because there seems to be very little information available, even though most people recognize the fact that the instrument has earned it's place in the tradition.
		First there is an piece of text I wrote on the subject of tuning and stringing the bouzouki for use in an Irish trad.
		This is a preliminary version of a text on right hand techniques that might be useful for bouzouki (and guitar, mandolin, cittern) players that want to play Irish music.

	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.
