A few months ago I went back to Philadelphia for my Yiayía Maria's funeral, may Her Memory Be Eternal, she was 98. While there my Uncle Manny gave me his old trichordo bouzouki which my grandfather brought back from Greece in 1961. My uncle played it for about a year and then it spent the past 50 years in a closet. It has some minor cracks in the bowl which I filled. I changed the strings and swapped out the bridge. I think it plays and sounds pretty good considering its age and storage. From the veteran players, any ideas on who the luthier of the bouzouki might be would be appreciated. As for the playing, I've been playing for a little over two years now so my rhythm is still a weakness. The song is Kandone Stavro Kandone by Markos Vamvakaris. Efkaristo Theo Manny! This is an amazingly wonderful gift that will be passed on. Yiasou Theo, yiasas Manges!
