"the Ud / Kopuz is a 11 string plucked instrument (...) the only difference between the Kopuz y the oud is that the former has a slightly smaller body
which is covered by a lamb skin"
Oruç guvenç is a famous sufi player of ud kopuz. He recorded many albums of musicotherapy with Tumuta band ... Nice instrument !Jody Stecher - 2-15-2016 at 06:54 AM
There are instruments with similar names all over the world. Generally they have a similar shape. Sometimes the entire body is made from one piece of
wood. A bowl made from ribs is not a typical feature of this instrument family. Kobza in Romania and Ukraine. Kopuz in Turkey. The Kyrgyz call it
Kumuz and it has sacred status. There is even a version in Madagascar called Kabosi that has taken on guitar-like features.Jono Oud N.Z - 2-16-2016 at 11:18 AM
I have not seen or heard this particular instrument before.
Thanks!
I will share with my teacher who is very interested in such instruments.

this *particular* one seems to be an oud/kopuz hybrid. I have no idea what the sheepskin is all about.Jono Oud N.Z - 2-18-2016 at 02:13 PM

Yes.
Anyone know anything about the sheepskin, or how long this weird hybrid has been in existence? BitterCitrus - 5-10-2016 at 03:14 AM
It seems like this is referring to the qanbus, which is like an ancestral oud, however it did not have 11 strings. It did, however, have leather
instead of a soundboard. HG Farmer talks about it a bit. Apparently, it can still be found in Yemen.BitterCitrus - 5-10-2016 at 03:14 AM
Wierd. Just clicked the link and read it. The strange thing is that the description of the class is talking about the Turkish version, but still
calling it the ancestor of oud. It seems to be nothing more than a Turkish version of the old barbat.
