That's going to look fantastic when it's polished up. Don't fancy having to carry it around London on the tube though. And your father must be quite patient with a gouge. I'd be fascinated to hear what it sounds like. It certainly works very well for iranian setar and tanbur. It looks like the neck will also be part of the one-piece body? Please post the finished item and sound clips when it's ready.

Dear Veysel.
Very interesting and a master of art. According to experiences mulberry works and sounds very well for saz, sitar and partly for tanbur. I'm wondering how will it work for ud. Whatever she sounds, she will look pretty after the touch of the hands of a master.

He must have a lot of patience, what a precise and beautiful work!
One question though: on what did ur father depend to "build" this oud? an ancient model?

veyselmaster - 2-2-2008 at 02:05 AM

Dear Dandana
Indeed iit was a lot of work. 15 years ago,I made an oud like that and I was surprised about the nice sound .Now I tray to improve the same model.
