5 out of 5 starsThe quality is incredible! The bouzouki is absolutely beautiful and I am so pleased! Shipping took a long time but that was not the sellers fault, it was due to the holidays. The box showed up in horrible condition but the bouzouki was in perfect shape! It was packaged so well! The seller was always quick to answer any questions I had and was very helpful every step of the way! 100% recommend buying from The Bouzouki Shop!!

5 out of 5 starsGeorge from the Bouzouki Shop was brilliant. Very helpful and kept me informed about shipping. Item was perfect - thank you, George!! Only 3 stars for delivery because Royal Mail took a long time to inform me that it had arrived in UK and then to eventually deliver item.

5 out of 5 starsReally top quality instrument and service. The team at the bouzouki shop were very helpful and sent off the order very quickly. The Tzouras was very well packed and arrived safely. It’s a beautifully crafted instrument. Will definitely go back to them for another instrument soon.

The Bouzouki Shop ® & Workshop - Handmade Traditional Greek Musical Instruments
The Bouzouki Shop ® was established in 1976 by Dimitrios Polydorou, the luthier
Our two stores and workshop are located in our hometown Egaleo and also in the historic center of Athens
Our goal as a family and as a workshop was always to create handmade traditional Greek musical instruments
We do that by using handpicked, carefully selected, quality materials.
By giving attention even to the smallest details, so the final result would be not just an instrument but also art, since music and creation is art.
Therefore every instrument is unique, so unique as every person, as every musician
