Tzouras
The Tzouras, is a Greek stringed musical instrument related to the bouzouki.
Its name comes from the Turkish cura. It is made in six-string and eight-string varieties.
The six-string model has the same arrangement of strings tuned to the same pitches as the six-string bouzouki. There are three pairs of strings, tuned to D3D4–A3A3–D4D4 or
D4D3–A3A3–D4D4. The strings are made of steel.
The tzouras is about the same length as the bouzouki, with a similar neck and head, but with a much smaller body, giving it a distinctive tone.
