    Description

    1960s
    beautiful Greek Three Course Bouzouki. (From my personal collection ) Possibly indented to,  or sold by
    Zozef Terzivasian
    workshop
    This hard to find bouzouki is in a very good- recently restored- vintage Used condition. Has some normal wear from use .
    Missing it’s maker’s label. Without claiming the name of the possible luthier , the particular design used by two of the most famous and master Greek luthiers:
    Zozef Terzivasian
    and
    Kyriakos Pesmazoglou / Lazaridis.
    Most likely this bouzouki sold by
    Zozef Terzivasian
    's workshop, accordingly
    to a
    recently
    updated research regarding the luthier :

    Photographs are part of the description. Please ask any questions you may have .The only thing I noticed after a thorough /detailed inspection, (I am obsessive with attention to detail- please see photos ) is a small and common (for vintage instruments)  asymmetry of the bowl close to the neck connection due to bouzouki ‘s age which is only aesthetic and doesn’t affect sound , durability or structure .The bouzouki comes with a vintage 1960s brown hard shell case in fair/good condition
    .Here is a video showcasing the beautiful condition of the bouzouki

    I would characterize its sound as " treble -mids'. The bouzouki was detuned and abandoned for more than 10 years. It will take some good 3-4 months playing for the sound to open up and give its original potentials and maturity.  A quick sound sample without any audio post effects , days after restoration can be found here :

    The instrument will be detuned, the bridge will be removed from soundboard, and placed securely inside the inner pocket of the hard case. This way there will be no excessive forces on the soundboard during shipment. Then the bouzouki will be packed securely placed inside the hard case (with bubble wrap and packing peanuts inside & out) and placed in a cardboard box. Two (2) Boveda (2 -ways humidity control) packs will also be placed inside the hard case with the instrument .No cutting corners from packing materials to ensure a safe shipment . Insurance will also be added . Bid with confidence.
    As I stated above, please ask any questions you may have, before bidding. All sales are final. No returns will be accepted, so please only serious bidders. Buyer is responsible for any taxes, customs/authorities forms and fees required. For the international buyers , please ensure before purchasing , that the item can be shipped to your country with USPS and they are no restrictions on shipment.
