The bouzouki is classified as a chordophone, which means it produces sound primarily through the vibration of strings. This traditional Greek instrument typically features a long neck and a round body, and is played by plucking or strumming the strings. It is distinct from ideophones, aerophones, and membranophones, which produce sound through different mechanisms.
The Bouzouki was created some time in the 1800s

The bouzouki
The bouzouki is very closely related to the mandolin family. The closest Western equivalent is the mandola, although the 'Irish bouzouki' emerged in folk music in recent years.
The bouzouki is traditionally made from wood, such as maple, walnut, or mahogany. The soundboard is typically made from spruce or cedar, and the fretboard is usually made from ebony or rosewood. Strings are made from steel or other metal alloys.
A baby bouzouki is another name for a baglamas - a plucked instrument which takes the form of a long-necked bowl lute, played in Greek music with one string in an octave pair on the lower D and unison pairs on the four highest strings.
