Products | Bouzoukis & Octave Mandolins
(1) Crosán Bouzoukis and Octave Mandolins
Crosán is the gaelic word for minstrel,inspired by the great Irish folk musicians who imported the Bouzouki into Ireland in the 1960's.Both Crosáns are good mid range instruments.

(2) Pro-Natura silver series Bouzoukis
Excellent value starter bouzouki's with unbelievable sound for the price.Solid spruce top,walnut back & sides,and maple neck,using an environmentaly friendly satin finish.Made in Europe.
(3) Diamond Bouzoukis/Mandocellos
A little bit unusual looking because of the diamond shaped soundhole,but again a sound much bigger than the price!Not in 'real' mandocello tuning,but an octave lower than the mandolin,strung with unision strings for a more bass sounding alternative to octave madolin,and looks like a mandocello,not sure what to call it,but it sounds good!
