{"title":"Bouzouki Strings","description":"\u003cp\u003eOur bouzouki set is built with silver-plated and steel strings for a bright, articulate response with strong projection — the ringing, cutting voice the instrument is known for. Loop end, so it fits a traditional tailpiece without adaptation, and gauged so the tension sits evenly across the courses rather than leaving the bass courses slack and the top ones tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBZK1128 runs .011–.028.
