History

The bouzouki’s history can be traced back at least to the pre-Byzantine era throughout Egypt, the Middle East

and China.

The original bouzouki was plucked with a soft plectrum and there was no specific tuning.

The four-course, eight string, bouzouki was introduced in the mid-1900’s and added a new dimension to the capabilities of the instrument.

TuningBefore tuning, the proper bridge position must be located. First find the nut. The nut is the bar at the joint between the neck and the peg box. Measure the distance from the nut to the 12th fret. Repeat this distance from the 12th fret to the bridge location. The nut and the bridge should be equal distance from the 12th fret. Position the bridge at a right angle to the strings.

The most common tuning on the 4-course Greek Bouzouki is CFAD or ADAD (low to high or top to bottom).

The Irish Bouzouki is tuned GDAD or ADAD (low to high or top to bottom).

When the strings in one course are of different thickness, they should be tuned in the same note 1 octave apart.
