Mike's Oud Forums

Informations requested about a Turkish oud maker named Ömer Uysal

I have seen a few days ago a very well sounding turkish oud made by Ömer Uysal.
The printed label is modern and says also 'Baris muzik evi'.
The oud looks 30 years old, may be more. It belongs to a Londonian musician friend of mine who wish to learn about this maker.
I told him that Mike's oud forum was the best place.
Please let me know.

As I heard from my Usta Cengiz Sarıkuş he is an old apprentice of him. Nearly 30 years ago. He is still making Turkish Saz but he made Turkish ouds and Lavta's in the past. Here is his adress.
Bekarbey Sokak (Street). Kazancı Han No: 4/5. Galata/ İstanbul /TÜRKİYE.

Dear Dr. Tayfun AYDIN,

Çok teşekkür ederim for your answer.
Hermes, my Londonian friend, visited Usta Cengiz SARIKUS about a year ago. He told me about the warm welcome he was payed at Veysel music and how pleased he remained.
So please, give Usta SARIKUS the best memories from Hermes, and also my best salutations because I wrote Usta SARIKUS a message some months ago and his answer was quick and very kind.

With all my thanks again for those suitable informations,

Best wishes

Alain Segura
