A Professional “Ud” (Oud) Player<br />
Who Produces The Ouds, is Also Physics Engineer, for the World<br />
Emir Değirmenli<br />
Written by: Semra ÇELIK / Photographer: Uğur GURPINAR / Translated by: Rukiye KOŞUL<br />
Emir Değirmenli, having grown up in a family who<br />
loved music, is a young physics engineer indeed.<br />
However, he doesn’t earn his living by engineering,<br />
but by making “ud”(oud). Taking advantage of his<br />
physics education, he started to build ouds with<br />
great care and now,he has been selling them to<br />
Europe and to the USA through internet.<br />
Emir Değirmenli... He is a young engineer in physics, but<br />
he does not use the laws of physics in the field of engineering,<br />
he uses them for oud making. While his peers were<br />
more enthusiastic about playing guitar and listening to<br />
popular music, he fell in love with our traditional music.<br />
Being a good player as well as listening to the oud, he<br />
got interested in the construction of it. We talked to Emir<br />
about how he had decided to be a oud maker while studying<br />
physics, what his future goals were, and other issues.<br />
