This oud has been mentioned in several threads here. Wonderful to hear it played! Like a living museum.

Some time ago there was a thread "where are all the really old ouds?" Now we know... They are all at Veysel Muzik!

Wow. It's great to hear that oud played. A very rich, full sound.

For what it is worth, I have purchased 3 old ouds from Cengiz Sarikus (Veysel Muzik), and in each case, the oud arrived exactly as described, and shipped with the utmost care.

If I had more money to spend (and if the dollar wasn't quite so worthless), I would buy more from him. It is an absolute pleasure to do business with this man.

Perfect!!! I loved the sound of it...
I have one question.How long is the string-length of this oud? Is it longer than the other Turkish style ouds (manol kalip) ?

Thank you very much Mr Sarikus...

But please make us a favour and put a video of your 2 Manols too..I would love to hear them both singing in the hands of Gürsel Torun or Hoca Alper...
