Bouzouki is one of the few musical instruments that Greece exports to Australia.


Only Melbourne's well-known music composer Pantelis Volaris has brought thousands of them to Australia over the past 50 years.

He discusses with SBS Greek how saddened he is by the fact that children of Greek descent are less interested in Greek music and - inevitably - bouzouki sales have also decreased.
