Description
The Hora M1090 Concert Irish Bouzouki is a premium-grade, handcrafted instrument designed for serious musicians and enthusiasts of Celtic and Balkan music. Built in Romania from naturally seasoned Carpathian tonewoods, this concert model offers enhanced body dimensions and refined detailing for powerful projection and a well-balanced, resonant tone.
At the heart of its sound is a solid spruce top paired with a flat solid maple back and sides, creating a clear, punchy voice with rich harmonic content. The maple neck offers excellent stability, while the rosewood fretboard adds warmth and smooth playability. A total of 23 frets and a 66.5 cm scale length give players ample melodic range for both rhythm and lead playing.
Whether tuned in traditional Irish (GG–dd–aa–dd) or Greek (GG–dd–aa–ee) fashion, this instrument delivers authentic tone with modern comfort, supported by an adjustable truss rod and premium build quality. Ideal for stage, studio, or traditional session use.
