Standard Model bouzouki

Compact. Focused. Built for the session.

WHAT IT IS

The Standard Model is a compact Irish bouzouki designed for players who want tight response, strong projection, and easy portability. It fits neatly into a banjo case and carries the clarity needed to cut through a room full of fiddles and flutes.

WHY YOU NEED IT

If you’re playing in sessions, a big-bodied bouzoukis can sometimes feel like too much.
This model is built smaller not to lose volume, but to tighten the focus and sharpen the tone.

You get a clean, precise voice that still has warmth, and a size that’s easier to handle, travel with, and play for hours.

WHAT YOU GET

A handmade bouzouki based on the smaller-bodied Sobell style.
Focused tone and projection for trad sessions.
Instrument featured has a redwood top with Indian laurel back and sides.
Comes in a banjo case.

WHY IT’S WORTH IT

Every instrument is built by me – no production runs, no shortcuts. Each design has been refined through years of feedback from professional players who rely on their instruments night after night.

You’re not just buying materials and labour; you’re buying the sound, playability, and longevity that come from over three decades of experience.
