We are thrilled to welcome Bayard Blain to The Music Emporium family! Bayard's instruments feature artful new designs, premium materials and finish work, and superb attention to detail throughout. Most importantly, they sound phenomenally good!

Featuring an Adirondack spruce top paired with a striking, figured tzalam (think figured koa meets walnut) back and sides, the Bayard bouzouki fairly glows under an expertly applied, oil varnish finish. This is a powerful, rich-sounding bouzouki with substantial low end and sustain for days. The Adi offersWhether tuned in GDAE or modal GDAD, it excels in both rhythm and melodic contexts. Chords have a beautifully blended quality, while the long scale helps melodies speak with clarity and authority.

With this instrument in hand, you are certain to be the envy of both mandolin and guitar players alike.
