Stathopoulo bouzouki 1912
Hello
I decided to sell a unique instrument treasure.
My Anastasios Stathopoulos bouzouki date 1912 expensive modelmade in New Yok brazilian rosewood and it is all made in the hand from the rosewood to
even the tinest details ,the pictures will speak for themselves
It is made in the year 1912 and it still playing after an expensive perfectly restoration before two years ago.
Anastasios made not many bouzoukia of this model in his life so may be someone who likes to collect real rare historical instruments.Everything
original on the instrument besides the bridge.
However the Price may seem high for some people but to the fact is that the instrument is in extremely good condition
Price 15.000 $
For more information please contact me

I recently purchased an A. Stathopoulo Bouzouki Instrument at a local estate auction. I am looking for any helpful information as well as value. I
uploaded detailed photos at http://www.photobucket.com/Stathopoulo
If you have any information or can point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for your time,
BEN

you probably picked the bouzouki up for a song if it was at an estate sale. i really like the early varnished surfaces - i would try and save them if
at all possible...notice that the rosette containing the maker's initials AS (anastasios stathopoulos) has been replaced in the wrong position.. WHAT
happened to the banding around the soundboard? i'm guessing that it was coming up and someone gave it to a butcher-it has got to be the all time
ugliest 'repair' i have ever seen. myself, i would first determine what the materialis made of (white glue, epoxy???) and then based on that answer i
would start to probe and see how much originial wood surface is left underneath - eventually, all of it has to come off the instrument. if you are
good working with your hands and a #15 surgical scalpel (see ebay) you'll have a very satisfying project on your hands...slowly and surely working it
down to an original surface. at that point it can go to a luthier for a full check-up. otherwise, take it to a luthier right off. congrats on the
great find!
