Alf mabrouk Eduardo. Like all of Faruk Türünz's ouds, this is an incredibly beautiful instrument. I am sure it will be with you all your life.

I was fortunate to spend time with master Faruk at his workshop recently and he told me about your oud.
I can inagine how excited you are to now have it in your hands.

Play it in good health.

Regards,

Greg

HI abusaid

Beautiful looking instrument, congratulations!

Is this a JT signature series Turunz model oud?

The pickguard is the same as that model and it looks very similar...

Hi guys. i really apreciatte your nice words, thank you very much Jassim, amaraock, aoudlover, amos , duvai244, greg, edward, james and oudplayer, abundant blessings for all of you.

Dear Jassim, my oud is arabic tunnig;
Dear James, this is not a JT, it's a Grand Concert with Fishman unnder saddle pickup, preamplifier, tunner and equalizer, plus the same pickguard made by the inlay artist Salih Balakbabalar.

I'm a begginer in oud and qanoun (i usually play derbakke), but this weekend my band "Ensemble Tarab" will play at the Mar Gerges Ortodox Church, here in Santiago of Chile, songs like Lamma Badda Iatathana, Longa Farahfaza, Nassam Aleyna el Hawa, Balash Tebousny, Aziza, Alf Lela wa Lela and others, so I' will try to post some recordings. I will play the oud in a couple of songs and the qanoun in others.

Thx

If you can play all those songs on Oud/Qanun, you're not a beginner, you're very good!!

I love the look of this Oud, make sure you treasure it like you would treasure your own father!! :airguitar:
