Sonic Collective Bouzouki MULTIFORMAT

The bouzouki is a greek string instrument related to the lute and reminiscent of a mandolin, but lower in pitch. Roy Kariok grew up in the Middle East, playing since he was a young boy and offers us a range of approaches to this string instrument, lesser known in the West and Far East.

Four-course bouzouki (tetrachords) features a unique tuning system across eight steel strings. A pair of higher-pitched strings are tuned to the same note while the lower pairs of strings are tuned an octave apart.
