Efr\u00e9n Lopez<\/a>, tan\u0131\u015fma \u015fans\u0131na eri\u015fti\u011fim \u00f6zel bir m\u00fczisyen. Mart 2015’te bana facebooktan bir mesaj atarak O\u011fur saz\u0131n\u0131n \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fclerine ili\u015fkin bir ka\u00e7 soru sormu\u015ftu. San\u0131r\u0131m yine \u00e7ok iyi bir lyra icrac\u0131s\u0131 ve luthier olan Stelios Petrakis<\/a> ona benzer bir saz yapacakt\u0131. \u00c7ok kibar ve al\u00e7ak g\u00f6n\u00fcll\u00fc bir hali vard\u0131. Ben zaten kendisi \u00f6nceden de bildi\u011fim i\u00e7in a\u00e7\u0131k\u00e7as\u0131 \u00e7ok da mutlu olmu\u015ftum.<\/p>\n

Bir ay kadar sonra bana oyma dut bir cura yap\u0131p yapamayaca\u011f\u0131m\u0131 sordu. Elimde tekne yoktu. E\u011fer tekne bulunabilirse yapar\u0131z dedim. Bir zaman tekne aray\u0131\u015f\u0131 ile ge\u00e7ti. Oyma dut, herkesin pe\u015finde oldu\u011fu bir \u015fey. Bense biraz uzak duruyorum. \u00c7\u00fcnk\u00fc istedi\u011fim \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fclerde bulmak zor. Zaman zaman yapt\u0131rd\u0131m ama hi\u00e7 bir zaman istedi\u011fim \u00f6l\u00e7\u00fclerde gelmedi tekneler. \u015eimdilerde kendim maundan oyuyorum. Neyse, san\u0131r\u0131m bir-iki ay kadar sonra bir tekne buldum. \u0130yi hat\u0131rl\u0131yorum, arabam\u0131 muayene i\u00e7in T\u00dcVT\u00dcRK’e g\u00f6t\u00fcrm\u00fc\u015ft\u00fcm. \u0130yi hat\u0131rl\u0131yorum \u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc bundan \u00f6nceki hi\u00e7 bir muayenede bakmad\u0131klar\u0131 LPG tank kapa\u011f\u0131n\u0131 kusur diye yazacakken (\u00e7\u00fcnk\u00fc bir ka\u00e7 hafta \u00f6nce y\u00f6netmelik mi ne haltsa de\u011fi\u015fmi\u015f!) oradaki gen\u00e7 \u00e7ocuk “abi, sen bir an \u00f6nce o kapa\u011f\u0131 bulup tank\u0131n \u00fcst\u00fcne koy” diyerek onay vermi\u015fti \ud83d\ude42 (bu k\u0131s\u0131m \u0130ngilizcesinde yok \ud83d\ude42 )\u0130\u015fte tam o muayene g\u00fcn\u00fc Efren bana tekrar yazarak bir de O\u011fur saz\u0131 yap\u0131p yapamayaca\u011f\u0131m\u0131 sordu. Eh, batt\u0131 bal\u0131k yan gider, yapar\u0131m dedim. Temmuz ay\u0131 idi.<\/p>\n

Ondan sonra her iki saz\u0131 da yapmaya ba\u015flad\u0131m. Efren, Kas\u0131m ay\u0131nda bir seminer i\u00e7in T\u00fcrkiye’ye geldi. Benim de o d\u00f6nem \u0130stanbul\u2019a gitmem gerekiyordu. Gidi\u015fimi o tarihe denk getirdim. Onun u\u00e7u\u015fu \u00f6ncesinde Atat\u00fcrk havaliman\u0131nda bulu\u015ftuk. Sazlar\u0131 verdim. T\u0131pk\u0131 mesajlar\u0131ndaki gibi m\u00fctevaz\u0131 ve kibar bir adamla kar\u015f\u0131la\u015ft\u0131m. Onlarca farkl\u0131 t\u00fcrde saz\u0131 olan ve onlar\u0131 da ayn\u0131 zamanda \u00e7alabilen bir m\u00fczisyene saz yapt\u0131\u011f\u0131n\u0131zda biraz tedirginlik olmuyor de\u011fil. Acaba be\u011fenecek mi? sorusu epeyce gerilim yarat\u0131yor bende. A\u00e7\u0131k\u00e7as\u0131 bu yapt\u0131\u011f\u0131m her saz i\u00e7in (az ya da \u00e7ok) b\u00f6yle. Neyse ki korktu\u011fum gibi olmad\u0131.<\/p>\n

Benim de en sevdi\u011fim par\u00e7alar\u0131ndan biri olan Plaerdemavida<\/a> y\u0131 O\u011fur saz\u0131 ile yorumlad\u0131\u011f\u0131 \u00e7ok g\u00fczel bir videosu var. (Miriam Encinas: dilruba

Efr\u00e9n Lopez<\/a> is one of great musicians which i had a chance and honor to meet. He send me a message on facebook on marc-2015 asking some questions about O\u011fur saz\u0131. I think his friend, who is also a great lyra player and excellent luthier Stelios Petrakis<\/a> were to build something similar to O\u011fur for him. He was very polite and humble. And i was excited because i knew and admired his work.<\/p>\n

After about a month he wrote me asking if i can build him a dut cura (smallest member of ba\u011flama family). He wanted a solid one piece carved body which i didn’t have at time. So i told him I’ll search for body and let him know. I don’t make too much instruments and it’s not easy or affordable for me to find and store carved bodies. It’s also not easy to find the one with right measurements. Anyways, i found one from Gaziantep (Southeast Turkey, you should go and eat some kebab there \ud83d\ude42 ) These took a couple of months. Then in July, (i remember because it was the day i took my car to biyearly inspection) he asked me if i can build an O\u011fur in addition to cura. I said why not? You know it wasn’t relax as i’m writing now. I always feel anxious when i’m bilding something but it was a little more in this case. Making an instrument to a guy who is playing tens of different kinds of instruments and a great musician as well, is something isn’t it?<\/p>\n

It took about three months to finish them both. In November, he was coming to Turkey for a seminar. We meet at the Atat\u00fcrk Airport right before his flight. He took the instruments. We had a little chat. The same humble, polite, nice guy on messages was sitting in front of me. He signed his new album<\/a> for me.<\/p>\n

Here is the youtube video he plays Plaerdemavida wtih O\u011fur saz\u0131, which is one of my favorite songs:<\/p>\n
