Thanks again guys for the kind comments about my Türünz oud. Thanks also to JT for making it sound so good. BTW, we saw Joe and James in concert
with the Grigoryan brothers on Saturday night. It was an awesome concert with an eclectic blend of musical styles (with Arabic music predominating).
You can read a review here: http://www.abc.net.au/brisbane/stories/s1991388.htm
Nur, this is a Grand Concert model. Master Türünz oud prices can be sourced on his website at http://www.oudmaster.com/php/
Oh, almost forgot to offer my apologies to Mike for my (almost) full head of hair. Sorry mate, I'll shave it off if it makes you happy.
Regards,
Greg

Hi Greg,
I am just windering, what is the length of the Bowl "ribs"?. The longer is the rib, the bigger is the bowl. I just want to have an idea how big the
bowl of Faruk ouds compare to the normal arabic or egyption oud. It seem to me it is smaller.
Cheers

The length of the bowl, when measured along the soundboard, is 48 cm.
This is a 58.5 cm scale length instrument. Therefore, the bowl will be shorter than an oud with a longer scale length.
I ordered it with that scale length because that is the most comfortable for me. The bowl size will be similar to most Turkish instruments, but the
braces and soundboard were designed for Arabic tuning and Arabic sound. Faruk also makes Arabic ouds with longer scale lengths.
The great oud maker, Nazih Ghadban also makes many of his Arabic ouds with the 58.5 cm scale length. You can see some of them at http://www.oudnazihghadban.com/users/current.asp
His Al Farabi model has an even shorter scale length of 57 cm.
Regards,
Greg

Dear Greg,
When you say that the scale length is 58.5 or 57 cm. What do you mean by that? is this the length from the bridge to the nut, along the soundboard or
is it the strings length?
I know that the strings length is between 57 to 60 cm. But What "Scale Length" definition?
cheers
