I don't think that this is bouzouki, but octave mandolin...
watched a documentary recently on the fishing industry and Grimsby; this song kept running through my mind
OMG! Not more need said but there's John Faulkner and then this. Kudos,
Oh. Found him.
Where are more of Jon' s videos? Beautiful voice.
Came here looking for inspiration on a build and found it - Jayzuz!
Dream instrument, so beautiful....how much do these cost, approximatly?
So how can I "get my hands on a Shippey" in Australia?
Best song of the week 🏆🏆🥇🏅 WIScOnSiN land of the cheese 🧀
One of my favourites.
Beautiful!
❤
Yay👏👏👏
oo! handsome voice!! I've disovered your msuic for the first time tonight.. October 19th. Thank you for your music!
Hey brother, this is just so beautiful
Perfect
beautiful instrument and playing. What tuning is this in?
Thanks Chris. The tuning is G D Bb D (low to high)
The greek bouzouki one bass sring and one high string, on tbe lower stri gs tbat producex that special Greek bouzouki sounc, tbe Irish bouzouki just has 4 pairs of the same strings, so it has nothing to do with the body, the wood used or the shape.
Beautiful floating scales
Stunning quality and a beautiful voice, wonderfully played. Thank you.
@@davidmolloy126 thanks David :)
I bought my first bouzouki this year. I blame Jon Doran and this UA-cam channel!
Would you have the tab for this by any chance?
Fantastico!

A brilliant performance. A great voice and playing.
Loved the music pc
Wonderful
this is an absolute banger!
I've listened to this over and over, great sound and resonance coming out of that bouzouki! Jon Doran's performance here is also incredible.
Gorgeous instrument and musicianship. Powerful mustache. 10/10 video.
Thanks Jerrel :)
What a tune! One that surely deserves to live on in the 'tradition'.
very beautiful number, nice interpretation and rendition
Really cool. Having my OM made soon. Hoping a sycamore back will sound something like this.
Looks and sounds like an Irish bouzouki
I'm 70 years of age tears running down my face....ahh the power of music
And here I thought it was the onions ;-)

Curious, the difference between octave mandolin and bouzouki?
They are sometimes used interchangeably. Irish bouzoukis are most often tuned GDAD, but can be tuned GDAE the same as an octave mandolin. They are usually a longer scale length than an octave mandolin. The 'correct' classification for bouzoukis / octave mandolins / citterns is an ongoing discussion!
@@aarondcruz2458 Thanks. I'm also curious, as a guitar player I'm keen to get into the dimension of octave m or bouzouki and poised to purchase the latter instrument. Is there much difference between the sound of these two instruments, do they both capo WELL for vocals, single notes etc? Flexibility of key change would be an essential consideration for me, over say a mandola/mandolin.
@@maxwellfan55 I'd say bouzouki is the norm for accompaniment, both instrumental tunes and songs, the higher tension and the tuning lends itself to that. They are regularly capoed wherever is conveninent due to the long scale length (see Daoiri Farrell and Jon's performance here for example), so key shouldn't be an issue. If you're intending to flatpick fiddle tunes etc in the original key like a tenor banjo the scale length is probably a bit too long to be comfortable. I'm also a guitar player, I have a tenor guitar (GDAE) to explore a bit of the bouzouki/OM repertoire but I'm intending to transition to bouzouki at some point...
@@aarondcruz2458 Thanks very much. I tried the bouzouki but found the long, unbalanced body shape less pleasing to play. Also, how the capo dulls the sound further up the frets. So, uncertain at present. I may settle for a smaller instrument rather than compromise. Actually I've recently been having a LOT of fun with mandolin and dulcimers, noting and J Mitchell style tunings. Cheers again for info.
So sweet! Curious, why the capo?
