Subject: RE: The New 'Gazuki' has landed From: Richard Bridge Date: 05 Jan 11 - 05:54 PM I'm generally a fan of brass bridge pins for "bite". But I have not tried them on a Gazuki and I don't plan on playing a Gazuki the left hand stretches are too tricky even though I do play a bass guitar (short scale) tuned an octave down from a gazuki |

Subject: RE: The New 'Gazuki' has landed From: GUEST,Ian Date: 05 Jan 11 - 02:41 PM Hi Abdul, The sound went mellow with the brass pins which makes a nice sound when 'strumming' behind vocals. With 8 brass pins it must make quite a change to the weight on the sound-board. I have a love-hate relationship with brass pins. For a while I thought they were brilliant on some of my guitars. Then I replaced them and changed my mind. Then I changed some of them back! They just add another imponderable when moving from one guitar to another, changing string gauges, pins, plectrum, etc. Ian |
Subject: RE: The New 'Gazuki' has landed From: Abdul The Bul Bul Date: 05 Jan 11 - 03:34 AM Easy to learn leeneia, plays just like a mandola tuned GDAE although I prefer GDAD. I have a 1st edition gazuki and after 'having it set up, it has an absolutely beautiful sound. Ian, did the sound change to or from mellow with the brass pins? Al |

Subject: RE: The New 'Gazuki' has landed From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 04 Jan 11 - 12:29 PM I listened to a sound sample, and they seem very fine. How would a beginner go about learning to play it? |
Subject: RE: The New 'Gazuki' has landed From: GUEST,Ian Date: 04 Jan 11 - 11:51 AM I have one of the 'old' ones and am very pleased with it. I changed all the bridge pins to brass and it certainly changed the sound! One day I'll change them all back to remind myself of the difference. I suppose I'll have to decide if I prefer 'bright' or 'mellow'. |

Subject: RE: The New 'Gazuki' has landed From: Silas Date: 04 Jan 11 - 05:20 AM Looks very good indeed. Wish I could afford one! |
Subject: RE: The New 'Gazuki' has landed From: Stu Date: 04 Jan 11 - 05:18 AM Looks excellent Phil - I fancy one of these but will have to save my pennies ;-) |
Subject: RE: The New 'Gazuki' has landed From: Phil Williams Date: 04 Jan 11 - 05:01 AM Yes indeed, superior instruments by Stefan Sobell, Nigel Forster, Hathway etc but I'm trying to provide a low-cost version with no waiting list, and one you can take down the pub. |
Subject: RE: The New 'Gazuki' has landed From: Dave Hanson Date: 04 Jan 11 - 04:06 AM Maybe not your model Phil but the guitar shaped bouzouki has been around for a long time, Andy Irvine has played one for years. Dave H |
Subject: The New 'Gazuki' has landed From: Phil Williams Date: 03 Jan 11 - 05:17 PM The new style Guitar-Bouzouki 'The Gazuki' has arrived and is better than very good. Nice smooth low action and built-in tuner. www.gazuki.co.uk - Phil Williams |
