Hehe.... Painful memories. At our old club (which featured a lot of ethnic music) we used to have a Greek gentleman show up with his electric bouzouki. Beautiful instrument, all inlaid and decorated...
However, he always played LOUD and not very accurately. We used to go to a Greek restaurant at the time, and the crusty old Greek waiter said... "That guy... He plays loud to cover up his mistakes!" We had to agree...

I play irish bouzouki! I will say that it's a frustrating instrument because they are not very popular. At the moment I own three. The first was a cheap celtic star model that I got off of ebay. It came with a pickup and actually wasn't that bad. I then had a custom bouzouki made by a local luthier. It was by no means high end but it has a great deep sound. Recently I purchased a trinity college bouzouki and installed a Headway pickup. I absolutely love using it live now!

"Irish", I suppose. I generally play everything on it that I play on mandolin, plus extra rhythm stuff as the register is appropriate. GDAE tuning. Mine was made by www.houseguitars.com
Mine is cedar top, walnut back/sides, ebony fretboard, Gotoh 510s, purpleheart rosette. If I was to do it again I'd get a slightly wider neck, but it's fine.

Not yet, But I'm seriously considering building one once I'm finished with my fiddle.
