A full documentary film of a Celtic guitar-bouzouki made from start to finish in my workshop in South East Queensland. I’ve been building guitar bouzouki since 1988, working under Stefan Sobell, the maker most credited with defining what the instrument is. This video covers the complete process: selecting and preparing tops and backs, bending sides, assembly, fretting, finishing, and final setup.
The music throughout is played on instruments from my workshop.
The tunes are by https://tompaddyadam.com/
