Bouzoukis and octave mandolins...
Permalink  

So, I got a $1000 bonus this month, and I was thinking about buying either a bouzouki or an octave mandolin. I don't know if you have any opinions on the subject, but if anyone on the board does, I like to hear. If anyone plays either, or has played either, tell me what you think. Either one should run me about $500-$800, due to the fact that not many people are buying these instruments and they don't make cheap ones.

Conversely, I could save the money for something, but what fun would that be?

get a mandolin, since I would think more people would know what those are.

Get a mandolin and be like the guy I saw in Amsterdam who played MDC songs on his mandolin while businessmen wrapped their ties around their heads and moshed in the street.

That was quite a sight.

I have a mandolin, which I can play quite well. The question at hand is should I buy a bouzouki or an octave mandolin?

You would know far more about those instruments than me, Slash. I think I have heard a bouzouki at some point in the past though.

We're sorry, but Pizza posted a video that is no longer available. Oh, that stupid Pizza.

 If I had a voice like Tiny Tim, I would.  Sadly, I am a baritone of robust timbre.  I can, on occasion pass as a tenor II, but Tiny Tim is a counter-tenor.

It's some stupid reference to some historical fact.

No, I was actually pointing out pizza's poor use of punctuation.
