The Gouzouki Project - How it Sounds Compared to Guitar and Bouzouki

Now that the Gouzouki project is finished, I thought it would be nice to compare guitar, bouzouki and gouzouki sounds. It’s not really a particularly fair comparison as it’s my really nice Martin guitar v my very cheap entry level bouzouki v my home built gouzouki, but it can shine a light on my rubbish playing if nothing else 😂.

I totalled up how much the gouzouki project had cost yesterday. The target was to spend less than £100 on the conversion and it cost £78. (That excludes the immense amounts of money I have spent on tools obviously!) With the purchase cost of the original broken guitar, that’s less than £170 for an all solid wood gouzouki, which is not to be sniffed at.

I’m really enjoying getting used to it and couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out - looking forward to getting out to some sessions, once some sense of normality returns.
