From Other (Miscellanous Used/Vintage/Consign)
Because chord shapes on bouzoukis can be limited, one way of playing is to slide the same fingering shape up and down the neck to produce different chord sounds. A long neck is particularly useful for this, and many players find it convenient to have a capo on the neck most of the time, removing it only for playing in lower keys. This instrument is ideal for accompanying Celtic music in a band situation. The combination of mahogany and cedar timbers for the body is a classic for rich “dark” tone.
