Luthier Information

Is anyone familiar with instruments made by Nick Apollonio? I think he's best known for 12-string guitars, but I am most interested in his citterns. Any other suggestions on cittern or bouzouki makers would also be appreciated. Thanks, John

If you're serious about Citterns and Bouzoukis and other quality hand made stringed, acoustic instruments, you must check out this site Stefan Sobell - Musical Instruments.

I also suggest you look into the information posted at this location Han's Irish Bouzouki Homepage.

Both of these are great websites with lots of good info and pics re: these quality instruments. Good Luck … and be careful ya don't spend too much of yer hard earned money!

Wow - sorry but I am having the HTML day from hell, today! I made an error in the links posted above. Please try Sobell at this link:

Thanks for the replies. If I am calculating the exchange rates properly, I may have to put things on hold for awhile. Anyone have experience with North American citterns? John

Hi, I've played Nick's instruments and I think they're top notch.
