Key Features
The Ozark 2222 Flat Back Bouzouki is suited to beginners and developing players looking for an accessible introduction to traditional Irish sounds. Designed for Irish tuning, it produces a rich, resonant voice with strong low-frequency presence, making it ideal for folk sessions, accompaniment, and melodic playing. A solid spruce top provides clarity and balance, while solid maple back and sides add brightness, focus, and impressive sustain.
The flat back design offers a comfortable playing experience, whether you're practising at home or performing with others. An ebony-tipped maple bridge helps transfer string vibration efficiently for a responsive sound, while the smooth maple neck makes moving around the 23-fret fingerboard feel natural. Finished with durable chrome hardware and an attractive inlaid soundhole escutcheon, the Ozark 2222 combines traditional character with practical playability.

The Ozark 2222 is designed specifically for Irish bouzouki tuning, giving you access to the rich, resonant sound that has become a staple of traditional folk music. Its eight-string configuration produces a full, layered voice with strong low-end presence and clear melodic definition. Whether you're accompanying singers, adding texture to an ensemble, or exploring traditional tunes, the instrument delivers the character and response needed for authentic performances.
A solid spruce top provides the foundation for a bright and articulate voice, ensuring notes remain clear and well defined. Paired with solid maple back and sides, the instrument gains additional focus, projection, and sustain. This combination creates a balanced tonal character that responds well to both rhythmic strumming and intricate melodic passages. The result is a sound that remains expressive and controlled across a variety of playing styles.
The flat back construction offers a familiar feel against your body, making longer practice sessions and performances more comfortable. Combined with a smooth maple neck and a generous 23-fret fingerboard, the design allows easy movement between chords and lead lines. If you're new to the bouzouki, you'll appreciate an instrument that feels approachable from the moment you pick it up.
From its slotted headstock to its decorative inlaid soundhole escutcheon, the Ozark 2222 captures a classic folk-inspired appearance. Chrome hardware provides dependable tuning stability and durability, while the ebony-tipped maple bridge contributes to both the instrument's appearance and performance. Finished in an attractive medium brown colour, it offers timeless style that suits both casual sessions and stage performances.
