cille · 03-05-2005, 09:59 AM

^well, i guess it's a sort of a reply, wheelsey

this'll end up as a thread of people who DON'T play the irish bouzouki

funnily enough i seem to have acquired two over the last year, im learning the cello myself and we also have mandolin and sitar players here - but none of us have got around to trying out the bouzoukis yet - must give it a go soon - do you play drunkenviking?

Drunkenviking · 03-05-2005, 04:08 PM

Not yet... But I'm saving to buy one... I think it has a very interesting sound, and I love Planxty....

eims · 03-05-2005, 04:25 PM

I love Planxty

but cant play the bouzouki...

incidentally i can play the violin tho (idont know if this is relevant- but i'm guessing the bouzouki is a string instrument?!)

Drunkenviking · 03-05-2005, 09:42 PM

This is a bouzouki:

cille · 03-05-2005, 09:47 PM

dramaking · 03-05-2005, 11:34 PM

SisterMidnight · 03-06-2005, 02:00 AM

cille · 03-06-2005, 08:18 AM
