@asaklitt It's actually not a mandolin or a bouzouki. It's a cittern. They're all from the same family and have similar turnings but the cittern is the earliest form. Bouzouki is Greek like where the cittern would have been found in Britain and ireland

@asaklitt Interesting. Never seen an Irish bouzouki...



It's not a mandolin. It's an Irish bouzouki. Simular to a normal Greek bouzouki, but tuned as a mandolin (EADG) and a flat back. Actually moore simular to a Mandola.
