Bouzoukis, or things like them
I'm of a mind to get a flat-backed bouzouki, but after 34 years of guitar playing I'm not really well placed to learn a new tuning so I'd want to set it up with CFAD.
How should this influence my choice of instrument? I'm thinking specifically of scale length here, since (as I understand it) CFAD will require certain string tensions and that, in turn, will suggest a specific scale length.
I've read that CFAD is standard for round-backed Greek bouzoukis with a 670mm scale length; is it as simple as finding a flat-backed bouzouki with a 670mm (or close) scale length?
