New oud by Yildirim Palabiyik
Hello friends,
I wanted to endorse our fellow forum member and Master Luthier Yildirim Palabiyik (whisperoftheoud) for a oud that I recently acquired from him.
This oud is a true masterpiece. The craftsmanship is outstanding and the sound is better than any oud I have ever heard or played. The oud has so
far exceeded my expectations and I would encourage those who are looking for a superb instrument to contact Yildirim. I ordered this base model
around 7 months ago when Yildirim was offering a discount sale, I have to say that you get a lot of oud for a base model..
Specifications:
Face : Canadian Cedar
Bowl: Wenge
String length: 58.5 cm
Pegs: Rosewood
Fingerboard: ebony
Tuning: Arabic
I also shot a quick video with my I phone, however this only captures a small fraction of the oud's true sound, i'll try to post something of higher
quality once I have the means.

Please share your opinions! (not of my poor playing, but the oud)

Lovely oud. Have you tuned it slightly lower than conventional arabic pitch? Sounds very deep. How deep is the bowl/comfortable to hold?

Thanks for the kind words.. I'm not sure about the exact measurement of the bowl, but it's very comfortable to hold and i can't tell any difference
between it and my other ouds. You are right, i'm tuning the oud to Bb instead of the traditional C, i like the way the lower tuning sounds, and i
also believe the lower tension is better on the oud structurally.
