Excellent service from Thomann.

When this Bouzouki arrived I was very very pleased with the overall quality .The sound is excellent and the finish is well done .Everything about this instrument has amassed me from the gold tuners to the rose inlay centre hole which is made beautifully. The frets are good well crafted the beading around the edge is excellent .The F S E -3 band equaliser appears to do the trick and I have no complaints .It comes with a bag that is made of good quality material as is the whole instrument. I can honestly say I have not been able to fault it . If I hade to be really picky I think the action is a bit high but I am having mine adjusted, having said that I think everyone has there own preferences and this should not put you off choosing this Bouzouki.Execellent,price .Well made ,Superb .

Nice bouzouki, especially for its price

So, this is a really nice instrument. There is a little buzzing issue on top frets, and I had to put a bit of foam rubber under the tailpiece to remove the nasty resonances but that's to be expected from a factory-made instrument. Nothing a little visit to a luthier can't fix though. Also comes with a free gigbag.
The string tuning is in unison, and bridge and neck grooves are made with that in mind, however with another visit to your local luthier you could make it octave-tuning compatible, so a frankenstein greek-irish bouzouki.
Have to note, this is basically a Hora bouzouki but Thomann-branded (the gigbag even features a Hora logo).
Overall, this is the way to go if you don't have a thousand or two (or more) to spend on a luthier-made instrument, sits well in my mixes.

Excellent quality, all seams and joints are nicely done. Finish is also very nice. Tuners are fantastic. It rings for so long, like it has a reverb effect :D Definitely a nice instrument.

Excellent purchase!

This instrument is made by the Romanian company named Hora,and to be honest,they did a really good job.

The build quality is superb! The neck feels comfortable to play,the binding is beautiful and the finnish is really nice!
Golden tuners,allong with the flower-shaped center hole are a really nice addition.
Aesthetically and soundwise,it's a great instrument.

The gigbag provided with the bouzouki is not bad (it does it job) but I recommend getting the Thoman bouzouki case for it.

Very happy with this bouzouki, have had it about a year now.
Needed a setup also lowered the bridge a smidge. Now plays beautiful and seems to get better sounding over time or maybe im just getting better?!
Highly recommended although an initial setup is needed imo

Well worth the investment!

This bouzouki arrived in secure overseas packaging and in exellent condition. I adjusted the truss rod evervso slightly and lowered the bridge about 1.5 mm. It plays well, has much better bass response than Asian made bouzoukis. I play world music in a duo with my wife (who plays hardingfele and tenor and clawhammer banjos) and it responds with more warmth and equal volume as my TCollege bouzouki. We were both exceptionally impressed and will buy another should anything happen to this one. I have recorded with this one and it is great for intonation, especially after i put some D'Addarrio strings on it. It also capos nicely with minimal retuning required, if any.

Irish Concert bouzouki
James587 25.05.2014
I am new to this instrument and tuned it to G,D,A,D All the notes were tested on each fret and string with no buzzing, which was good. The tone on the G and D with octave strings is a deep droning sound which is the trademark of these instruments. The sound is clear and resonating. The overall build is very good and the sound is very good . On single note tunes the irish bouzouki lends itself well to folk music, adding another dimension to the sound.This is an excellent instrument for the price and a instrument bag is an added bonus.

Great for Busking

Well made, decent sounding and very useable set up. However, the fret spacing on these instruments is quite wide so for me it's the wrong instrument as it is just a stretch too far.
