AstoriaMusicGeneral Instruments

For a neighborhood that’s so fiercely held onto its Greek heritage, it should come as no surprise that there’s a specialist for instruments from the Balkans. Amongst the acoustic guitars and audio cables is an array of Bouzouki — a traditional string instrument that’s sort of like a lower-pitched mandolin. The owner is a professional Bouzouki player himself, so you can trust that the imported instruments here are selected with care. Whether you want to learn this regional specialty or something more mainstream, Astoria Music has a program for private lessons.
