The tzouras (Greek: τζουράς), 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. Similar musical instruments in Turkish culture are generally referred to as Bağlama.
The six-string model has the same arrangement of strings tuned to the same pitches as the six-string (trichordo) bouzouki. There are three pairs of strings, tuned to D3D4–A3A3–D4D4 or
D4D3–A3A3–D4D4. The strings are made of steel.[1][2]
Physically, the tzouras resembles the bouzouki, with a similar neck and head, but stands out due to its notably smaller body, resulting in a distinct tonal quality.
