The Sassanid Shah Khosro Parviz supposedly had a personal ensemble of 10,000 musicians who played such instruments.  Kurdish music is believed to be closest to the music of that time.

i am not sure, but i think the persian name for Ud is Barbad or Barbat. What do you think Zagros?

@ THE TURK

I love it. Rebetika is the creme de la creme of music for me, whether it be Greek or Turkish.

@kotumeyil and THE TURK

First time I heard Yorgo Bacanos was when I was studying Theology. I was listening to Greek Rebetika, when a fellow student brought in the CD of Bacanos! I fell in love immediately with the Ud. I knew of the Ud from Greek Asia Minor Rebetika, but his was a totally different sound. That link kotumeyil and Bacanos's taxim, transprts me to a different time. Thank you!

I hope I cause no offence here (ie. excuse my ignaorance here), but Sufi music is very nice too.

Here's a nice page for old classical Turkish music records, including some from Yorgo Bacanos:

@ Kotumeyil,

hehe, I bet (looking at your avatar).

That's right, I could not remember whther Yorgo was spelt as Yorgo or Giorgos.

@Day1

Thanks for the link, I will take a peek when I come back after work.

I have a Bouzouki, which I always wanted to learn, but never had enough money to do so. After that, I wanted to learn the Ud.

Some of my favourite Rebetika songs are those of Asia Minor, the Amane is most exquisite as are the Oriental instruments.

Ah I know Yorgo Bacanos (his official name on the identity card in Turkey) he played with many important Turkish classical music people

As for rebetika, I like Asia Minor songs more, too. Any Turk can feel what they tell very well...

Do saudi have Kanun too?

I mean I thought only Arabs  from Syria & Iraq use Kanun in their music!

I really want to learn playing Ud. My uncle from my mother side is a Musician and he earns his living from playing Ud and Qanun in concerts and weddings. I tried playing and he helped me but I guess I like the most important thing, talent!!
