Tetrachordo?
[edit]
This is NOT a "trichordo" bouzouki. Trichordos have 6-strings in 3-courses.
This is a tetrachordo bouzouki: 8-strings in 4-courses.
Title needs to be changed.

- No, it isn't. Have a look a the image in full resolution. Two of the tuning pegs are not used. That's common with trichordos. See also en:WP / The three-course bouzouki (trichordo):
“The illustrated bouzouki was made by Karolos Tsakirian of Athens, and is a replica of a trichordo bouzouki made by his grandfather for Markos Vamvakaris […] It has tuners for eight strings, but has only six strings, the neck being too narrow for eight. The luthiers of the time often used sets of four tuners on trichordo instruments, as these were more easily available, since they were used on mandolins.” Alfie↑↓© 00:04, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
