Alexandrosd - 2-4-2007 at 02:57 PM

Dear members of the forum,

this is my new oud... It is made by Mr. Faruk Türünz.

I'm really excited with its beauty but...its sound is incredible.


Mr. Faruk, thank you very much for the nice oud you constructed for me!!!

I tried to make my best with the photos, but...

Congratulations on your new oud!! It's beautiful!

What kind of wood is the bowl? I'm waiting on my Faruk Turunz oud - I should get it in the next few weeks.

MOTHER OF GOD, PLEASE POST A SOUND CLIP!

Kaloriziko! That's a beautiful ud! Paikse mas kati megale, prepei na akousoume auto to aristourgima. :)

If im not wrong i think this oud is identical with mine from Faruk Usta and the bowl should be of Palissander - Juniper (Ardich) combination.Am i right?
Sweet,warm,round sound (not so brilliant high notes).


Na to xairesai Aleko kai panta tetoia...

Guys, I'm very satisfied with the fact that you like my oud...

Thank you very much for your wishes.

Samzayed and Multi, about the woods, Mr. Faruk has used European spruce for the sounboard, and a combination of wenge and padouk for the body.

Azoff, the case is the hard case that Faruk Turunz sent me. It's a very well done case.

Mauroudi, I'll try to upload a clip in the future.. (eimai kai ligo asxetos kai ntropiaris :)

Multi, the oud is really full of sound..at the whole scale of frequencies.

Nikola s'eyxaristo gia tin voitheia sou gia to outi, tote sto rembetiko forum. Na'sai kala!!

Love the Oud,

I was curious, does Mr Turunz accept requests of phyical preferrences of the oud such as pickguard and rosette styles.

Lintfree - 2-9-2007 at 04:30 AM

How does the instrument sound? Are there any buzzes up the fingerboard? I have heard that many of the modern ouds have that problem. Lintfree

Looks like Greek to me. I noticed the "dimitrisouds" address there in the corner. I just bought one of Dimitris ouds and it's so very good. I love it. He does great work. D.Lindley

Dear members, I'm sorry for being so late to answer to your messages but I didn't have Internet access.

Palestine48, I personally didn't ask something special about the rosettes or the pickguard from Mr. Faruk. However, I think that Mr. Faruk would be willing to discuss anything with his customer.

Lintfree, there are no buzzes on the fingerboard. It's sound is getting better from day to day. I'll try to upload a clip in the future.

Spyro, eyxaristo poly gia ta kalorizika. Symfono gia tin aytoektimisi kai ton sevasmo ston eayto moy an kai den katavaino ton logo pou to egrapses. Pantos pragmatika s'eyxaristo gia ta logia sou.

Now about my mood... I'm not impatient with you and your questions. It's my pleasure to read such good words about my oud and answer to you.
I'm impatient because I want to learn more and more things about the oud and it's secrets.:)

It was a great pleasure for me

Hello Aleko,

It was a great pleasure for me to anticipate the sound which would content you and try to design a soundboard to produce it and the other aesthetic features which would collocate that unique tonality.

Aleko,I have send you an u2u message.Welcome above us my friend:wavey:
