Shareen, since Akram first introduced the subject of an oud which was clearly decorated to look as though it was made by Master Faruk, there have been
many posts on the subject and it is very obvious that Master Faruk Türünz is angered and offended by the breach of propriety that has taken
place.
It is not for you, or anyone else to judge whether or not he has a right to be angered or offended. He is and he has explained very clearly why he is.
If Mr Türünz wants advice on how he should act or react, I feel sure he will ask for it. In the absence of such a request, I believe it is highly
presumptuous of you to offer an opinion on the merit of his reaction.
You posted several comments on the original thread and you have now started two separate threads which can serve no other purpose than to prolong the
issue.
Most of the members of these forums are aware that Faruk Türünz is amongst the finest oud makers of all time. He didn't get to that status by being
half-hearted about the way he does things. He is a fine man and a fine artist, but above all, he is a man of great passion.
Please do not insult him further by continuing to raise this subject under a variety of different guises.
