Jassim,
Thank you for sharing your fine playng and the sound of your new Faruk Türünz oud.
Would it be possible to post a sound clip of the instrument without reverb?
As this is the first time we have heard this new model from Mr Türünz, I feel sure many forum members would like to hear it in its natural state.

Gorgeous oud.
And the sound? Hard to beat a good sandwich... It really shines on the lower
end.
I can't wait to make another sandwich top...farukturunz - 12-29-2007 at 07:31 AM
Yeah Jameel,
You are the pioneer of this technique in the oud construction and the master who gave the inspiration to me for this project. Thank you once more.
Best regardsRonny Andersson - 12-29-2007 at 09:14 AM
Dear Faruk, what a fantastic tone... why did you choose Canadian cedar? Will you also use spruce? It was long time ago I heard something that stands
out like this in tone...farukturunz - 12-29-2007 at 11:26 AM
Amendment:
Dear Rony,
I have always avoided using Canadian Cedar so far since the beginning of my career basicly for two
reasons:
Firstly, I wanted to depend only to the accuracy of my brace tuning method and seconly I was determined not to seek for any help from some widely
proved tone wood like cedar in order to achieve a good sound.
I must confess that I hardly and recently accepted myself as someone who does not need to compete with self and no need to challange myself. Now and
on I feel free for using all the means including some hitech materials like NOMEX and any kind of wood which I believe that will help me to make
better instruments.
Kind regardsGreg - 12-29-2007 at 01:06 PM

Thank you Mr Alarroug. That is an amazing amount of sustain and reverberation, considering it is coming only from the instrument. Thank you again for
the clarification and for your beautiful playing.
Faruk, this is a fabulous sounding (and looking) instrument. Congratulations.

Salam Mr.Faruk Tunrunz, Jassim,
What a great hands makes a such great oud, God bless them and save them. Very beatifull, winderfull, great oud. I am so addict to your ouds, Mr.Faruk.
Any other oud doesn't make me "high" like your oud.
Jassim, Allf Mabrook, Winderfull oud with beatifull, deep, warm, Echo-y sound. Very nice. Great Playing.
Best Regards,
Jassimmavrothis - 12-30-2007 at 05:56 AM
Congratulations! This oud truly has an incredible sound, and is beautiful in every respect.
Health to your hands, and to Mr. Turunz and his workshop for making this great line of instruments. I think it's really beautiful to see how an idea
that started in the guitar world has been shared in such a friendly way in our oud community.
Take care,
mavrothisOud Freak - 12-30-2007 at 05:56 AM
Well Jassim, great playing, distinguished!
Now, another practical issue that maybe the luthiers can answer to. If (God forbid) something happens to this oud or even if it needs a minor repair
of the soundboard, how can this be done with the presence of the "sandwich"? Is the repair of such a soundboard possible, or it has to be fully
replaced?
Regards,MatthewW - 12-30-2007 at 07:39 AM
Jassim- very amazing sound, as if you actually had reverb on the recording! I can see why Greg asked his question! It will be interesting to hear what
this oud sounds like in another 6 months, after being 'played in' some. may this oud bring you much happiness.
Faruk comments that he didn't use Canadian cedar in the top, and also says that he didn't want to use any proven tone wood like cedar. what wood is
the top made of and also the bowl? thanks.Jassim - 1-1-2008 at 04:27 AM
great oud you got there jassimOud Freak - 1-4-2008 at 04:35 AM
I wish Mr. Turunz had replied the question in which I ask about the practical issue of the repair of the double soundboard.
Am anyways only asking for a short answer to my long question, since a luthier makes an instrument intended to be played by some instrument player,
consequently the instrument player (the customer) has the right to get more detailed knowledge when he is interested.
Amazing Ouds, and heart stopping taqsimshamed - 1-9-2008 at 05:46 AM
Jassim, you are very fortunate to own both of these great instruments, i have never heard a oud with such clarity and even tone like Mr. Turunz's
ouds. He is truly the oud master. Would you please mind telling me what woods were used to construct the bowl for these ouds?
Thank you
David HamedJassim - 1-20-2008 at 02:25 AM
dear sir
what do you mean for bowl ??Oud Freak - 1-20-2008 at 05:24 AM
Jassim, the bowl means el "tasseh" or "qas3a".Jassim - 1-20-2008 at 07:04 AM
