The Tzouras is the medium size of the “Bouzouki family“. It is slightly larger than a Baglamas but smaller than a Bouzouki. It became prominent in early 20th-century Greece, mainly due to the Greek immigrants who fled Minor Asia in the 1920s. It is especially used in rebetiko music — the “urban blues” of the working-class neighborhoods and prison communities, especially Piraeus and Thessaloniki. It is based on the original 3-string (or 6-string) Bouzouki and it is tuned D-A-D.

Each Tzouras, handcrafted in our workshop or by our skilled partners, is made from carefully chosen materials to deliver the finest tone and craftsmanship.
