I play guitar, viola, mandolin, ukulele, banjo, and cello, but now I want one of THESE. I know where to get one, but before I do, I really want to know how I'm going to learn it... I would use a book, or person, or Youtube instructables, but idk where to find any of those. Help?
@nathpowe It is very hard...I want one too, I dont have much time but I am interested in playing Byzantine scales(echoi) and turkish makams.Gratefully I know people to show me...I believe a teacher or a friend is the best solution...
Is this song you play a folk tune or it's cover of Hamza el Din's song? I heard it before in few versions, that's why I'm asking. It's very beauitful song and you played it really well.
If you studied the music history you would know! I did and i don't have to argue with anyone... Believe what you want to believe but also respect the people with knowledge instead of using inappropriate language please...
This is an Ottomanic original song... For everyones information. Stop fighting over it... In it's time we were as one...Ottoman Emperor... Thank you...
@suphibaykal agreed. as it says in teh bible. " GOD made man in his own image. funny thing is i explain this to the racists out there, i worship a man born in or enar what is now israel. aka middle east. i dont care :). GOD blessed this man, and others including myself wiht an ability to either play or appreciate this beautiful music. it speaks to my soul.
This is not a Turkish song. It's a classical Arabic song from the Andalusi (Arabic-Spanish) era. It sounds very nice on a Turkish instrument, however.
Turkish name of this song is ' Derde derman bu gece ' nesrin topkapi is singing with sibel can. You can also search as ' aman aman' aynur is singing on you tube...
Hi nurtanem, i've been searcching "Derde derman bu gece" for long time and i can´t find it, can you help me? if you have this song, could you send it to me? please, it's a beautiful song, i really love it. Thank you.
Ciao! Nice to see there are other players... I am in Napoli, Italy, and I have just the smae instrument you have! A friend in mringing two new string sets, here I couldn't find any...
good stuff man. Im about to buy one within the next week or so. One question I have is how is the action on the fretboard? if its too high can you adjust the bridge?
Nice, such a tranquil beautiful song. Just got back from a bellydance workshop where we were dancing to this song - interesting 10/8 time signature. I didn't hear as strongly the 6-7-8 beats in your version, cwhick makes it more meditative.
My cumbus tuning is: G,A,D,G,C,E (E should be F, but one of the strings broke so I tuned the remaining one down to E), I guess this is the a standard cumbus tuning but many diffirent tunings (turkish and arabic) works......
This is beautiful!
