There's a lot of name confusion when it comes to the "Irish" big mandos. Seems nobody can agree what the different instruments should be called!
  I have chosen to restrict the term "Irish bouzouki" to eight-stringed instrument resembling the Greek bouzouki, so everything about ten-stringed watchacallems is located in the Irish cittern section.
