Iranian OUD/BARBAT making art
Hi,
I'm really new to this webtalk. It looks cool and nice discussions about iranian barbat.
It is a long time that i wanted to have a professional barbat, like 5 years, that was actually the begining of my research about the oud- and barbat
makers in Iran.
To make a long story short, finally a year ago i came after who are the best oud- and barbat makers in Iran.
I have one barbat made by Mohammadi bros, fully ornated. It is a master piece of art. It took him a year to have it finished. According to him, this
barbat is the best one he's ever made, Ostad Behroozinia has also got two Barbats made by him, but less ornated as this one.
Now i officially work with barbat makers in Iran to promote iranian instrument-making art.
Ofcourse, any good and professional instrument is not cheap, and that is okay, 'cause it is an art.
Like acoustic or classic guitars or other professional instrument.
Here comes some pics of my beloved Barbat.
The sound chamber is Indian rosewood, and the inlays art called in farsi MEHRKARI, is of brass, walnut-, maple-,cocobolo-, and african black wood.
Sound board is triple A Bavarian spruce, Walnut neck, and ebony fretboard and tuning pegs, camel bone bridge, and ibex horn nut.
Heavenly sound!!!
Hope once i can play good, to let you hear it.
Enjoy
