Hello Folks,
I have an old flatback Bouzouki that is a pretty nice instrument.
Cedar top/Rosewood back and sides.
It really struggled to cope with steel strings (even when stripped down to single instead of double).
So, basically I had written it off as a wall hanger but wondered if it would be suitable as a uke conversion.
If so what sort of strings would I be looking at? (it's about a 21" 7/8ths scale length)
Cheers
