I'll make a better recording when she's all completely set up.

Interim #2 - with all 8 strings. It sounds pretty darn good but of course the camera mic isn't that good.
Still needs further setup before I try to make a good clip.

Sure sounds good! Are newzouskis normally played with a pick. My 12 string sounded horrible when I tried to play but great when my guitar instructor played it. There are tricks to playing with two strings per course.

Yeah, and I don't know the tricks. :-) This is now set up to be played like an Irish bouzouki - actually it is tuned the way a mandolin and other 4-course instruments are. Bluegrass, celtic, Irish.
