We've lumped Greek, Irish and Portuguese bouzoukis together in this collection. The Irish and Portuguese bouzoukis are quite similar in shape, though the Portuguese version is slightly broader in the body. By some accounts, the Irish bouzouki is a combination of the long neck of the Greek bouzouki and the teardrop-shaped body of the Portuguese guitarra.
