Bouzouki - Technique and Tuning
The Bouzouki is played with a small plectrum, otherwise known as the "penna". As mentioned before the most common Bouzouki today is the eight (8) string Bouzouki that in essence consist of four (4) double sets of strings. The higher tuned strings starting from the bottom up are called "katini" and the lower tuned strings that are thicker and wound are called the "bourgana". The sequence of tuning from the bottom up is as follows: The first set of double strings is tuned as the "RE" or "D" note. The second set of double strings, which are again identical, are tuned as the "LA" or "A" note. The third set of double strings which consist of one "kantini" and one Bourgana string are tuned as the "FA" or "F" note and the fourth set of double strings which also consist of one "kantini and one "bourgana" are tuned as the "DO" or "C" note.

On the other hand the six (6) string Bouzouki which is still used by many of the older players as well as some of the younger ones, which is ideal for the true "Rebetiko" sound are tuned in double sets from the bottom up as "RE" or "D", "LA" or "A" for the second set and again "RE" or "D" for the third set.
