Session King Irish bouzouki

Compact. Responsive. Built for real session playing.

WHAT IT IS

The Session King Bouzouki is a streamlined, hard-working version of one of my most popular instruments. Built for players who want tone, comfort, and reliability without the frills. It’s based on my Standard Model, with a smaller body that fits in a banjo case and holds up beautifully in loud traditional sessions.

WHY YOU NEED IT

Many bouzoukis are overbuilt or overloaded with decoration. This one strips things back to what matters: clear tone, strong projection, and focused playability.

If you’re gigging, recording, or jumping into tunes in a packed pub, this size gives you a tighter sound that cuts through the mix.
You can choose between two top styles:
• Flat top with a fixed bridge for more bass and sustain.
• Arched top with a floating bridge for a traditional bouzouki response.

WHAT YOU GET

A handmade, stage-ready bouzouki with practical tonewood choices.
Compact size for great projection and comes in a banjo case.
Two voicing styles depending on your needs.
Customise the scale and nut width.
Reliable tone. Honest feel. Zero fuss.

WHAT MY CLIENTS KNOW

They know that every instrument comes with a lifetime warranty. That I’ve built for pros, hobbyists, and trad players for decades. The Session King Bouzouki came directly from asking players who needed something tough, affordable, and musical. It’s the most accessible model I offer, but it’s no compromise piece.
