DOUBLE SOUNDBOARD OUD PRESENTATION MEETING EXECUTED

farukturunz - 11-8-2008 at 12:35 PM

Hi folks!

We have executed the "Double Soundboard Oud Presentation Meeting" today. Yurdal Tokcan played our Doubles and gave a fabulous concert. He critisized and evaluated the Double Soundboard Ouds' sound and compared it to the sound of our Concert and Grand Concert Ouds. He gave an oportunity to the attenders for making their own evaluation, playing a Double and a Concert Oud alternately. The event seems to make echo through out the musical environment in the comming days.

You can see some snapshots from the day at:

Congratulations Faruk! I think I speak for many of us when I say we're looking forward to seeing some videos from the event.

Thank you very much Jameel. I handed out a short pamphlet to the attenders of the meeting today to summarize the specific aspects of this new concept oud and I mentioned you as the pioneer maker of the double soundboard OUD. I want to stress your role in my attempt for making Double Soundboard Ouds.

My congratulation usta Faruk Turunz, in my opinion you are the best maker of this time and your continuous research of new techniques and ideas is the best confirmation for this.

Just a little ot:
I saw the photos: beside the happiness for the well-deserved celebration of the work of a great master, let me say that i felt great seeing Yurdal Tokcan in a good mood after the big problems he had.

My best wishes,

Peppe

I'm flattered Faruk. But I'm no pioneer. It was only a matter of time before someone did it. I simply had the opportunity. I'm glad you are making the sandwich top a regular option on your instruments.

Thank you very much PeppeOud for your kind praising words.

Thanks to God Yurdal has regained his good mood recently.

You are so humble dear Jameel, but you are the "pioneer" because first you applied this technique to the oud soundboard.

Kind regards

Congratulations to everyone involved, this is a really special development for oud making. And like Peppe said, it really is nice to know Yurdal is well.

Take care,
