Octave Mandolins and Irish Bouzoukis
Trinity College
- Solid maple top, solid mahogany back and sides, flat back
- Fancy binding, engraved tailpiece
- Soundhole border inlay, Fleur de Lis headstock inlay
- Formerly made in Japan, now made in Korea
Trinity College 8-string Irish bouzoukis are generally tuned G-D-A-E (low to high), one octave below a mandolin, or in similar tunings. The short scale bouzouki, or octave mandolin, comes with all 4 string pairs tuned to unison pitches. The long neck comes with high octave strings on the G and D pairs (similar to the setup of a 12-string guitar), though either instrument can be strung either way. They are both very nice entry level instruments, made with all solid woods.
Trinity College Bouzoukis and Octave Mandolins can sometimes be backordered
from our supplier. Please contact us to check our current stock.
For more information about bouzoukis, citterns and octave mandolins, see this article by Robin Bullock.
