who made this cumbus?


Anyone know who made this cumbus? It's much more attractive looking than your run of the mill cumbus.http://youtube.com/watch?v=otgdyD2sHHg

The body looks like the usual Zeynel Abidin one, and they do make models with inlay, though I've not seen one that fancy before. The pegbox is a design I don't think I've seen before, and it looks a bit fragile. The membrane seems to be the old-style plain white plastic, rather than the parchment-like stuff they're using now (and which gives a much mellower tone).

To me, it doesn't sound at all unusual.

That descending passage about two-thirds of the way through is wild.

Jack can you elaborate on the "old-style plain white plastic?" what is it and where do i get it? For years I've been wanting to make my cumbus louder.

thanks!
