We build bouzoukis, laouto, tzoura, baglamas, mandolins, classical guitars and rebetiko-acoustic guitars.

Our custom made instruments are made to meet your personal needs. You can choose from a variety of woods and designs. Special consideration is given to the sound and playability of the instruments. All of them carry our warranty and signature. The price range depends on the type of wood, amount and quality of ornaments and number of stripes of the bowl. Custom made instruments need four to six months to be completed. Photos and updates can be sent to you during the building process of your instrument.

For all custom made instruments, a 20% deposit of the total price is required, and the rest is paid upon completion of the instrument
