Hello maran,
thanks for your reply.
Yes you are right players like the master Goksel Baktagir are not playing harsh, I shouldn't have put this in general. However a lot of recordings are
like that. Watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5gpnO9RNzQ&feature=youtu.be&... where he talks about plectra (the whole video is worth watching by the way). So obviously the turkish like the sound to be a bit stronger as their
plectra are already harder.
Compare for instance this arabic qanun playing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=px9alEwBo48 to this turkish one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfu72YTBmkg
Sorry but the second sounds a bit "harsh" to me. Maybe its the style of playing rather than the "normal" sound of the instrument... actually this is
the question I had...
Thanks again for your help |
