It's a Puerto Rican instrument. Go search for "puerto rican cuatro" on ebay, you'll see.

Yeah, I think it's a different cultural name for the lute. Of course there could be other minor differences, I don't know...

Just like an "oud" is the middle-eastern version of the lute. Something like that.

I never knew that, and they were most likely greek first. Everything is come from Greek.

You are very very wrong on this one....

Bouzouki entered the Irish music in the 60s. It has been a part of Greek music since ancient Greece under a different name (Pandourion) and pretty much the grandfather of the family of lutes.
