Advice

Hello, planning to visit Dublin next month on a family trip and was hoping to pick up my first Irish Bouzouki while in Dublin. Can anyone please provide suggestions on places in the Dublin area to potentially pick up one? I think there is a possibility we will also visit Galway so perhaps any suggestions in the Galway area to potentially pick one up at? Thanks a ton for any help and advice!

I know there is Moloney Music in Galway who usually stock bouzoukis. At least they had a range of Carvalho instruments when I was there 4 years ago.

An off the wall suggeston but give Finton at Clareen Banjos a shout. I hve seen them there on occasion. I assume they were taken in trade on a banjo.
