Description
Discover the vibrant tonal character of Celtic and Mediterranean folk music with the Hora M1089 Irish Bouzouki—a beautifully handcrafted instrument built in Romania using carefully selected tonewoods from the Carpathian Mountains. Complete with a protective gig bag, this 8-string bouzouki is designed for players seeking expressive tonal depth, crisp articulation, and long-scale projection.
At the heart of the M1089 lies a solid spruce top and a flat solid maple back, delivering a clear, punchy sound with excellent sustain. Maple sides and neck add tonal brightness and visual warmth, while the acacia fretboard ensures smooth playability across all 23 frets. Its 66 cm scale length, paired with a 3.5 cm nut width, offers comfortable finger spacing—perfect for intricate chord work and melodic lines.
Fitted with an adjustable truss rod for long-term neck stability and strung for both Irish (GG–dd–aa–dd) or Greek (GG–dd–aa–ee) tunings, this bouzouki is highly versatile for traditional or modern folk players.
