Dear Parham and all.

 

I have heard of Amir Atai. I understand he has made kamancheh for Keyhan Kalhor and also for Sajarian's son.

 

Is Mr. Atai a member of our group now ? If so that is so wonderful. If not can you invite him ?

 

There are so many new members . It is wonderful.

 

I have a question for you and all. There are many Fardin and Hasheem kamancheh i see. They all have special mohr of their name. Is this a mark that means they made it or could it be made by a factory like a Gibson or Martin guitar.

 

Also in the process of making a Kamancheh do some makers buy pegs or necks that are already made ?

 

Besides the Ghanbari kamancheh is there a maker who is considered well known like Stratavarious is to violin or Steinway is to Piano ?

 

Also i hear that there are sometimes counterfit mohr. has anybody ever had bad experience with this ?

 

I am happy to see so many postings in the group.

peace to all, Larri
