Irish bouzouki with Greek stringing! Yes!Playing a melody in two octaves at once with one finger is such a honking great idea. Some people modify this instrument to use Irish union strings on the bottom two courses rather than Greek octave.Well I'd prefer to have all courses be an octave apart, even the top two! Bring it on!Don't worry about higher frets not being in tune. That's what the movable bridge is for. Just wiggle it around until your tuner is happy on the 12th fret.

I was unable to play the first and second course above the 6th fret. The neck is completely twisted and there appears to be a problem with the tongue. Unfortunately, I wasn't an experienced player and didn't realized the extent of the damage until after the return date. I'm trying to work through Asurion insurance, but I'm having tremendous trouble getting any return calls or emails. BOTTOM LINE: check this instrument all over. Play every fret (if you can). The woods appear good and the body seems resonant. It was not set up at all when it arrived.

I am really happy with the quality of this instrument. The price was a lot cheaper than I could get it for locally. Only improvement to be made is on the case. The handle is not balanced properly so it dives nose down. This makes it awkward to carry.

Lovely instrument. Beautiful wood and workmanship. Lovely tone with fantastic sustain. Comes with purchase made good quality hard case, which wasn't obvious from the listing.

As the previous reviewer mentioned this does come with octave strings on the lower two courses. D'Addario J81 Irish Bouzouki strings come with unison pairs as is more common. Unless you want to stick with the Greek style octaves you'll need to carefully modify the bridge and nut. A standard set of needle files will do the trick as you are just routing for the larger strings.Being a Mandolin player, I wasn't really happy with the sparkly sound of the original string configuration. However, it sounds absolutely lovely tuned GDAd with the J81's. It should be mentioned that if you are looking to tune GDEA like the mandolin you're better off getting an octave mandolin from the same maker as they seem better suited. The Irish Bouzouki has a bit longer scale than the Octave Mandolin making some of the GDAE fingering nearly impossible. I find that the GDAd tuning is not so far from the mandolin tuning that I'm completely lost. It's actually a nice change and great for chords. If you want to play tunes get an Octave for the shorter scale. I could see myself adding one to the arsenal some day. Either way, it's a great way to give those pinkies a workout. For the long scale this thing is actually pretty light and easy to carry around. It's a only bit deeper and larger than a backpacker type guitar but with a much more commanding sound.The build of the Trinity College TM-375 is flawless. The finish is spotless and the tone woods are of good quality. The tuners are silky smooth and the bone nut/bridge combination seem sturdy enough. Trinity College instruments are made in China for a company called Saga Music out of San Fransisco. They also produce the Rover and Kentucky line of mandolins which are of good quality and value. I own one of both and although the quality doesn't quite match up to their Trinity College line they are good instruments. Trinity College is Saga's top end line. You can Google the name and get to their website. Overall, I am very happy with my Zouk and look forward to learning the chord progressions. It has a very rich sound and seems to want to play Led Zeppelin right out of the box! With the above scale and tuning issues in mind, you can't really go wrong with this purchase.
