I have played guitar for over 30 years. I now prefer to play the bouzouki, which although it has eight stings, they are set in four courses, so in reality there are only four differntly tuned strings.

I realised that I had always been unhappy with the six differently tuned strings of a guitar.

That ringing sound that I love to hear when I play the bouzouki, I have never been able to obtain on guitar, or hear other far more skilled players obtain on guitar.

Does anyone share this view or understand what I mean?
