"The Radical Movement for Rebetiko Dechiotification and Bouzouki Detetrachordization claims for unity against :
  1. the imperialistic tyranny of the four-course bouzouki
  2. the subsequent indigestible syrtaki-like fake music served in oily greek restaurants
  3. occidental major scales and imported kitsch rythms
  4. interminable fat tremolos running along the neck and swooning german old biddies.
"The Radical Movement for Rebetiko Dechiotification and Bouzouki Detetrachordization unilaterally demands :
  1. the uncompromising rehabilitation of the trichordo bouzouki
  2. the closing of all restaurants dealing with breakable plates and electronic rythm machine
  3. zeimpekika se dromos sampach kai tsiftetelia se dromos kartsigar (mono)
  4. two-finger playing only, but with the soul, the guts and the balls (Markos-like)
"     FACTS

  1. Trichordo bouzouki provides a delicious open tuning (D-A-D), neither major, nor minor, allowing sweet oriental combinations. Four-course bouzouki (8 strings) is tuned D-A-F-C, like the 4 first strings of the poor occidental guitar. Tetrachordo bouzouki was obviously created to play greek rumba and turkish bolero.
    This is injurious to our ears."

Trichordo bouzouki is the only righteous kind.

www.doctor-dark.co.uk is one place to read about it.
