Authenticity Check
The unparalleled sound and reputation of Zozef Terzivassian’s instruments as the "Stradivarius of bouzoukis" historically led to numerous attempts at imitation. As his life partner, Ellie, recounts, many tried to exploit his name by pasting fake "Zozef" labels inside instruments made by other builders and selling them as genuine.
Dedicated to protecting Zozef’s cultural legacy, we now offer a Free Initial Authenticity Appraisal for your instrument.
At this point, it is worth mentioning that many of Zozef's construction elements were copied by numerous builders. We are not talking about minor replicas, but about complete imitations, which we have the expertise to detect.
