Bouzouki in the Museum of Greek Folk Musical Instruments in Athens. The Greek bouzouki is a plucked musical instrument of the lute family, called the thabouras or tambouras family. The tambouras existed in ancient Greece as the pandura, and can be found in various sizes, shapes, depths of body, lengths of neck and number of strings.
The original Greek bouzouki is a three course / six-string instrument (trichordo) tuned D 3 −A 3 −D 4 (with an octave pair on the lower course). In the 1950s, a four course / eight-string (tetrachordo) version was developed in Greece, tuned C 3 −F 3 −A 3 −D 4 (with octave pairs on the C and F courses) and popularized by Manolis Hiotis.
Similar instrument called barbat (Persian: بربت) or barbud was a lute of Greater Iranian or Persian origin. Unlike the short-necked unfretted oud , the buzuq has a longer neck, smaller body and frets tied to the neck, which can be moved to produce the microtonal intervals used in the many maqamat (musical modes).
The tzouras (Greek: τζουράς), is a Greek stringed musical instrument related to the bouzouki. Its name comes from the Turkish cura. It is made in six-string and eight-string varieties. Similar musical instruments in Turkish culture are generally referred to as Bağlama.
