Ghirotondo	Bouzouki - What brand is best? (73* d)	RE: Bouzouki - What brand is best?	22 May 09
I have an octave mandolin and a bouzouki by Valerio Gorla (from a town near Milan, Italy). Both are cedar top, and the zouk has walnut back and sides, maple neck and ebony fretboard. Paid (each) little more than 1000€ equipped with Fishman Natural II piezo. I am completely satisfied, except for the resonances I seldom have when playing amplified. But you know, piezo have their drawbacks... I think the price/quality ratio is very good. Also, the person is exquisite, ready to fix any problem on the spot (if time permits). If you plan a holiday in northern Italy and need a zouk/mandola/mandolin, it is worth a detour, if only to have a look and a try. Here is his address: Valerio Gorla Via Montegrappa, 53 20024 Garbagnate Milanese (MI) Italia Lanfranco.
