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 />
