Haluk Eryadin - new oud
Hello! I got my oud from turkey a few weeks ago, made by Haluk Eryadin, and I have been playing almost everyday. Thank you to all here for the free
advice and support.
Haluk made a nice sounding oud, it is very deep and projects really well. I see now when I play the oud how you have to kind of coax a good tone out
of it, sort of like a violin. Ahhh, she's a tender girl, a little romance and then she'll pour on the charm! When I played it at my
turkish band, all the turks were complimenting it, so I got an 'official' stamp of approval. The quality is really very good, certainly not
flawless, but obviously there is care built into it. I hope I can return the sentiment.
Now I just have to figure the best place to get strings & relax my arm and shoulders when plucking! I've been playing stringed instruments
for 20 years and I've never had a wrist problem before. But now with this oud, my arm is sticking way out there cause the thing is so
fat.
I'll see how it goes.
I recomend Haluk's ouds to those who are looking for a good quality turkish instrument, he was very helpful and pleasant, answered all my newbie
questions with paitence. The oud came shipped to the US with a well protected box, and very easily tracked through DHL, we watched it literally go
from one airport to another all the way through to New England.
When I get the pics scanned, I'll post them.
I tried uploading a recording, but it was taking a really long time, so I think I have to change something and try again. rock on

Hello Kevin. I have one of Haluk Eraydin's ouds! I think it's great! I love the
exceptionally deep bowl and tone. The best place for you to go is juststrings.com. They have DAdario, Labella, and GHS oud strings. Stay away from the
GHS! They don't know what they are doing! I've tried them, and they suck to crap! That's my opinion though. DAdario and Labella are the
better strings. Personally, I like the DAdario strings. They'll last longer than the Labella. LONG LIVE ERAYDINSAZEVI!
