Mythos MP3-TR 8 String Bouzouki

Mythos MP3 – Traditional 8-String Bouzouki, Handcrafted in Greece
Blending craftsmanship, history, and musical tradition, the Mythos MP3 is a beautifully made 8-string bouzouki, designed and handcrafted in Greece and imported exclusively by Volaris Music. Created with the advanced beginner in mind, this instrument offers a smooth playing experience, authentic tonal character, and striking aesthetics—all in a high-quality build that honors its cultural roots.

Crafted with Symbolic Detail
One of the standout features of the Mythos MP3 is its intricate full-face decorative design, inspired by the trireme—the iconic ancient Greek battleship. These vessels were admired for their strength, agility, and speed, powered not by slaves but by free men whose strength defined the ship’s performance. This symbolism connects the bouzouki not just to musical heritage, but to the pride and resilience of Greek history.

Playability & Tone
The MP3 features a solid spruce top paired with a lightly stained, 17-rib bowl constructed from spruce and walnut, offering both visual appeal and resonant tone. Tuned to DD-AA-FF-CC (Re-La-Fa-Do), the instrument delivers rich, traditional Greek voicings with excellent projection and clarity. Geared machine heads with pearloid buttons ensure reliable tuning and a refined look, while the black headstock adds a classic finishing touch.

Ideal for the Advancing Musician
Whether you’re transitioning from a student instrument or looking to connect more deeply with Greek musical traditions, the Mythos MP3 provides comfortable playability and lasting quality—perfect for expanding your skills and sound.
