My comment is; I have owned a Fender Irish Bouzouki since 2011and it is my main instrument, the only one I've ever seen, Fender that is, also have a mandolin, tenor guitar, tenor banjo, but my Fender bouzouki is my "go to" every time. I started out years ago on a violin, quit music playing for 40 years just listened to your music on my radio got tired of that so bought a mandolin, then a 5-string small bodied viola, tuned it C-G-D-A-E and relearned to play it. Then I wanted to sing along, (not that I'm a singer, just another old man that has wants and still has time to maybe...) bought a E/A mandolin, then the E/A Irish Bouzouki, E/A tenor guitar, tenor banjo, musical saw...hell I already had a bow, so I sawed things into a quite zone and moved on. Music has a soul and we have a soul so when the two get together and get married your in for a lot of fun and out a lot of $$$! Oh what the hell, the only good thing about money is it will buy you a "thing or two" toys or tools, you decide! I've told my kids to "give my toys to some needy kids in some grade school with a music class and let them learn for fun and for free. Music is a thing and you never (have) to get divorce from just take a breather for a month, a year or many and return like I did, it's all good! Please learn and play music, the world needs it, you need it, and the grass and flowers love it, a few people also!
Well said ! nice to hear that
I got on of your bouzouki's on a whim and even though it was a very affordable model, I am so happy with it. You guys are awesome! I hope you get to read this and know you've made someone's day.
Hi! We're so happy to hear this! We wish you to enjoy your bouzouki for a long time and bring a lot of joy through its music! 🙂
@@horainstruments1951 I absolutely will!
I've never gelled with an instrument so quickly.

This is after about 3 weeks, what a joy to play
I absolutely LOVE this instrument. Insane value for money! Thank you, Hora, I'm very happy about this purchase
Excellent rendition of Morrison's Jig on a very lovely instrument... Perhaps a Christmas present to myself in a few months. :-)
Recently got one of these (without the electronics). Very well constructed instrument. Does need a bit if an adjustment as the action is a bit high for my liking, but it does have an adjustable truss rod. Love the sound. I tune it gdad.
We are glad to hear this. Thank you very much for your appreciation!
I just bought this exact model yesterday after 15 years of electric guitar and a bit of mandolin. I must say I was really impressed with its quality, given the price.
It is really good looking and as soon as I tuned it (GDAD in my case) and strummed my first D chord, I absolutely fell in love. The sound is very clear and deep, with a really nice sustain on the open strings. Even after hours of playing, it stayed perfectly in tune.
I also tried to plug it and the pickup has a really nice sound from what I can tell.
All in all, a very good instrument for a killer price, well done !
It's so nice to hear this! :) Thank you very much for your appreciation!
Hi Guillaume - I have just e-mailed Hora on enquiry, and look forward to hearing from them. Is your instrument strung in unison, not octaved (i.e. top two sets of strings are same gauge)? From my research, it seems unison strings give the instrument a deeper, richer sound?
@@msaash3konzult680 it was indeed in unisson. From what I understood, irish bouzouki are setup like that (like a mandolin) while greek bouzoukis are strung in octaves.
Horas are great i love my bouzouki.
Thank you very much! We wish you to enjoy it and bring much joy through its music!
I own one. I love it.
Me too !! 😁
Absoutely beautiful sound and make!
Thank you so much!
@@horainstruments1951 Soon, I will have one for my soul...
I have been looking for an Irish bouzouki for a while, and have done plenty of research. This Concert Irish bouzouki by Hora looks like the ideal instrument for me (guitarist, banjo player, newbie to bouzoukis!) I have e-mailed Hora direct, as there is no sales rep here in Cape Town. Excited to see where this goes!
Hello! Please send your request to mail@hora.ro
Great promo video. I exchanged a couple of e-mails with the company and the service and response was fantastic. I look forward to ordering my concert bouzouki to use as part of our live shows in Canada. Sound is great, D'addario strings and nice wood construction. Price point is also unmatched.
Thank you! We're happy to hear this! :)
Well done, appreciated much. Thinks I must have.
Looks sooo good 👍
Thank you!
just got the octave mandoline version from you (hora m1087-p)
it has it spots here in there but thats why the price is so great i suppose. (nitpicking/looking for problems)
the rest is just amazing, didnt expect such quality on its parts and looks.
also the pickup sounded way better then what i expected.
i also got a 400 ish dollar electric guitar that looks way worse and cheaper then this exotic instrument.
Thanks!
Très bel instrument reçu ce jeudi,EXCELLENT rapport qualité prix ,fabrication Européenne ?
Venant d’une mandoline « short scale » j’ai besoin d’une période d’adaptation
Car les écarts du manche sont nettement plus important!👍👏🏻🍀
I love Hora instruments from factory in Romania,the cost and quality are consistently excellent I hope they don't mind but I cut the top off the Hora Mandolin,the bottom off a comparable new manufactured Mandola,making a mandolian, I tuned F C G D, Mandola on the top , and D A E B on mandolin, baritone / contralto.Used paint stir for braceing and just glued.Now on the wall of a music store set up shop.Would normally be tuned C G D A and G D A E.I hope Hora Makes the Narceso Yepes 10 string classical guitar,also.Harp mandolin or custom order to acoustic or acoustic/electric hybrid factory instruments included

Is this using the Artek FSE3 pickup that comes on the instrument? Also, you should do a demo of the other bouzouki style made by Hora so that we can compare the sound of the two. Thank you for making affordable bouzoukis! I cannot afford a gold tone, which is double the price of yours and am looking forward to purchasing.
Im looking to buy either the Octive Mandoline m1087-p or thus Concert Irish Bouzouki from Thomann. This model would be 70€ more expensive but id rather pay a bit more and have a higher quality instrument. I would use octave stings for both because I like the octave mandoline sound .i
If you had to choose between the two, which one would you pick?
Hello, this is a lovely sounding instrument, is it available from Thomann?
Yes, you can find Irish Concert Bouzouki on Thomann's website.
This new model is simply amazing! I already have one Hora bouzouki tuned A D G C ( 12/12 22/22 32/32 46/12) , and i'm very satisfied of it! You did not mention which model is the one shown on this video. Is it available for left handed? How much will cost for the Italian distribution? Thank you so much for your reply. You have now a new subscribed! Greetings from Italy, Patrick
Thank you, Patrick, for the appreciation!
The model presented in this video is a Concert bouzouki made in our factory. If you would like to receive an offer, please write an e-mail with your request to mail@hora.ro
It looks like the scale length of this Irish Bouzouki is not too different from the scale length of a Greek bouzouki. Can this instrument be strung, tuned and played like a Greek Bouzouki? If so, would it sound reasonable for Greek style music or would it sound all wrong?
I want one 😊
So is Horas Irish Bouzouki in unison and the Octave Mandolin in octave?
I want to buy an Octave Mandolin, however, in reading some feedback from your customers, many are not happy with the quality control. One said the nut was not set correctly, and many said the saddle was at all heights!! Get it right, and I may buy one! For me, its worth the extra $550 to by an Eastman, KNOWING the quality is there!! Raise your prices by $1-200 and GUARANTEE the purchaser is getting a quality instrument!!!
❤Mulcumeck ❤ Super!❤
I would love to buy one of these, but do they come with octave or unison strings out of the factory? If they come with unison strings, can I put octave Bouzouki strings on them, or do I need to make adjustments to the bridge for that? Help would be greatly appreciated in this matter. Thank you.
Mine came with unison pairs on all strings. I changed the bottom two courses to octave and it sounds amazing.
Do you export it to Brazil? I've been in love for this model for over a year
We export worldwide. Please write your require to mail@hora.ro Thank you!
What brand/gauge of strings do you use on the Concert Irish Bouzouki?
The D'addario Irish Bouzouki sets are the best I've found. They last reasonably well.
The ones to avoid are Italian made Galli strings. I tried a set and they corroded pretty much immediately.
OK, I live close to the ocean, so that doesn't help, but really, these were corroded within a week.
For Irish music it should be tuned GDAD
Where's it's truss rod access?//
Hi. Through the sound hole.
A little bit difficult to accès I hear .
@@MGWAIKIDOJITSU don't even know what type / size allin wrench to get.

Sunt foarte mulțumit de acest instrument,iar raportul calitate preț face diferența,Eu am achiziționat 3 astfel de modele din acest minunat instrument,de la magazinul Rapsodia,din București,de care sunt foarte mulțumit. La 2 din ele le-am pus corzi de buzuki grecesc,unul l-am acordat că pe un buzuki grecesc cu 4 corzi CFAD ,cel de al doilea l-am acordat să sune ca o tambură bulgărească DGBE,o să-mi mai achiziționez unul și am să-l acordez ca o mandolă algeriană,sau lăută grecească ADGC, 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Multumim pentru apreciere! Ne bucuram sa auzim asta! Va dorim sa va bucurati de instrumentele achizitionate cat mai mult timp si sa aduceti multa bucurie celor care va asculta!
