Well, I expect it to be more 'precise'. Regular acoustic ones always had some kind of 'out of tuneness' to me. There is a big Greek population near here, so get a chance to hear them being played a bit.Administrator of the SDUGF

But in all seriousness, the electric is not going to ever sound like the acoustic (IMO) without a piezo. I would say it would be best to approach this instrument as its own musical vehicle. I would love to hear this with a bit of chorus, delay maybe even some gain. I would have a ball with this instrument plugging it into different amps (bass vs. guitar vs. keyboard) and effects. I would also love to explore the instrument in its purest forms straight into an amp. It just is so cool.Last edited by Securb; 06-17-2021, 08:36 PM.

That's what i was thinking- it has its own thing going on, and isn't really made to sound like an old folk instrument. But to an open-minded player, with a history in electric guitar amps and effects, it can be seriously cool. I doubt a traditional player would like one, much like an old school classical player would probably not dig a Strat.Administrator of the SDUGF

They do sound different to the Greek bouzoukis, mainly due to the different tunings
