- This is the process of making Central Asian/Persian instrument Ghaychak. Please note that several components of this instrument including the headstock, the neck, the upper bout, the bridge and the fine tuner mechanism are redesigned and developed by the creator of this video and instrument, master luthier Ahmad Alikhani.

I’m a Canadian luthier, and I love to watch luthiers of other cultures at work!
استاد دستتون درد نکنه بسیار زیبا و هنرمندانه خلق کردید.درانتظار اثاری دیگر از شما.👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🙏🙏🙏
Fascinating - and beautiful end result!
This was wonderful to watch. My mom played violin and viola. I did not know this existed. You have to know so many things to complete an instrument, let alone the amount of time, sped some with modern grinders, saws. Thank you. That has a nice sound.
That's beautiful. Beautiful sound as well. I'd really like to get one.
IT looks beautiful and it sounds beautiful!
Great job!
Fascinating to watch. A familiar, beautiful, haunting sound from middle-eastern music, but I never knew it was (or heard of) a ghaychak even though I play the violin.👍🇬🇧
Today you have such great machines to do the work, in the past, it was probably all done by hand ✋. Great job let's hear the sound 👏. Thanks for sharing this wonderful work. Thanks TH-cam for bringing such knowledge to us 🇺🇸
Great craftmanship and the Ghaychak was unknown to me but had nice soft tone :)
Great traditional work.....
Great craftsmanship and an intriguing design! It is a delight to just watch a master artisan working.
A great amount of work! Thank you very kindly for showing the making of the Ghaychak. Very beautiful sounding●
Very beautiful sounding???!!!😂😂😂😂
I would glue that part on the back instead of screwing. The fine instruments have no screws in them, everything is glued together.
Beautiful instrument and that tone is haunting.
always nice to see instruments made
So soothing

Amazing....
Wow! I love to see how instruments are made cool!
Very interesting to see a man hollow out a huge log with a chisel, then use a laser cutter on the soundboard. Was not expecting that.
Beautiful and interestin disigne this music instrument👍
Wow!
Wow that’s an amazing instrument and craft
BEAUTIFUL!!!
love the music at the end
That is one of the most amazing string instruments I've ever seen -- absolutely beautiful in look and sound.
بسیار زیبا و عالی،،، همواره موفق باشید،،🙏🙏🌷
Magnífico trabalho mestre Luther 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
چه ساز زیبایی و چه نوای دل نشین ،درود بر شما استاد عزیز
interesting!!! in these channel's 3 short videos, you can see 3 good candidates' ancestors to 3 modern western musical instruments which are still in use in Persian music, Tar-> GuiTar, Santoor -> Piano, and Ghaychak -> Violin.
For those who don't know allredy, the Piano had also an ancestor form called "Spinnet" which had soft strings played by small hooks controlled by the tangents. I think thay may be one of the missing lins here. The guitarr probably reaced Europe from Spain or Turkey i think since it did divide into two forms in Spain.
I am not sure since it has been around for so long that it's roots has been lost to history, but i think in the Nord the Violin probably arrived in it's early form from northwest of Caucasus since the very early forms here around the Baltic sea are different from the modern "Italian" mediterranian style, in south Europe it may had arrived from further south, like from the Osmans or via Spain i guess.
Beautiful.
similar to a Persian Tar. very interesting.. to see the violin actually comes from Persia...and the Italians modified that into the violin....
Most instruments do come from Persia
@@charliebowen5071 yessah !
@@charliebowen5071 so do lots of good things, icecream, wafers, ice in drinks ect ect
@@manchagojohnsonmanchago6367 I've in drinks was Egypt
I think violin comes from the rebab, introduced into Europe by Muslims through the Iberian peninsula. But i might be wrong
Simply a lovely piece of work, and meticulously made...it is just a stunning instrument and piece of art! Thank you for sharing! Would you have dimensions to make this instrument? I would not copy the sound board etc, but would like the size of the circles and length of the fret board to get it correct:) Thank you! I would love to try this in wood found in Canada.
Art
Super master grate blessing god thank you
Magnifico.
عالی بود استاد عزیز....زنده وسلامت باشی...ممنونم
Amazing! Hugs from Brasil
واقعا کارت درسته 👌
بسیار زیبا و هنرمندانه.
μπραβο υπεροχο👍
It's much harder to carve out the whole resonator than gluing front, back and side plates together!
I have never seen a jigsaw used that way, interesting.
In the past, the violin was played in the same way in Europe.
استاد گرامی این چه سازی هست نه شکل ویلون هست نه کمانچه! صدای زیبایی دارد
I love to see it your great art of work. Can you tell me how much it cost ?
عالی
Assistindo outra vez agora, fiquei empolgado e tomarei iniciativa de replicar de fazer um instrumento deste aqui, em Recife PE Brasil. Usarei para o corpo maior a madeira da jaca e um fruto exelente e sua 🪵🪓 e tbm muito resistente, irei concluir as encomendas de trabalho que já tenho, e então providenciarei tbm Cedro e Rouxinho, depois de pronto mostro, me deu entusiasmo e fazer sim, mais uma vez e um belo trabalho este seu mestre 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👍🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿😘
Wonderful Craftsmanship; a work of art- thank you. John 3:16
👏👏👏
Amazing! Do you know of any qaychak builders in countries other than Iran?
Wonderful video. What is the wood used?
Mulberry for the body (says so in the video), probably grenadillo (African blackwood) or a rosewood for the fingerboard, maple for the bridge, and it looks like walnut for the saddle. Did I forget something?
@@rasmusn.e.m1064 yes rosewood but bridge and other white parts are usually bone
@@milimakes True, but we did see the bridge being cut out from a square section that looked a lot like a light wood @ 11:50. I assumed that it would be quite difficult to find natural bone in this formation and that it would be a similar type of wood to the one used on the viola family-type instruments.
@@rasmusn.e.m1064 yes here he used wood but it's common to use bone for small parts of Persian instruments
Me lembra o som de tango to evora？um som profundo misterioso, exotico...
As pessoas bailando a noite no meio da floresta com os pes livres tocando a terra e uma grande fogueira, cantando e ...
This is simply a kamaanche in gheychak shape. A real gheychak looks like the balooch suroz and has 10-12 strings, 3 of them being fingered, the rest sympathetic strings.
Similar to this in India we call it Sarinda
استاد علیخانی بسیار عالی فیلمهای بیشتری بگذارید
👍👍
You should link the maker so that people can purchase
عالی بود
👍
What wood do you use, from what kind of tree?
Iranians are very artistic
I like people who make stuff with style
✨🔥💖🔥✨
👍🏻☘️
👍🏽
Almost looks like the way the Afghan rabab is made.
what is that skin？ is it gemsbok？should it be wet when applying？
Мамочка! Как он пилит на себя! Много рук?
❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹👍👍🤲
Saranda very much similar
Baba qaychak iranie dige. Kare Kamanche ro mikoneh. Dorost nist?
What country is this
Iran/Persia
ویدیویی بسیار مفید ساختید. دستمزیزاد. اسم این غژک باید باشه چون غژغژ میکنه. اما من ربط خاصی به کلمه قیچک نمیبینم. امیدوارم فیلمتون برای آیندگان به میراث بمونه 👍🏻 من استفاده کردم و سپاسگزارم
خیلی زیبا و هنرمندانه دست شما درد نکنه مرحبا چقدر این را برای فروش میگذارید
Helo dear...app ka no mil Sakta he...
The pitch of.this. instrument is.more like a viola than a violin.
I have some mulberyy on hand hard hard stuff
514 subscribers?! What’s everyone watching?
I guess it’s better to say it as a cousin of cello
This is called sarangi
This is Iran 🇮🇷
با درود بی پایان، خواهش میکنم به هر طریق ممکن(توضیح به زبان انگلیسی )هم هنر کم مانند هم نام ایرانی را بیشتر به جهانیان معرفی کنید، من ساخت تار شما رو هم دیدم ،به امید به روزی .
This instrument ancector is sarinda instrument from india
Nice creation, no cultural background or explanation. To most Western watchers you could be making a viola d'amore for all they know
*"Gaycheck"*
Rebab bowed strings from the holy lands Egypt , Turkey, persia
Rebec and oud (from which Wood in English wood) plucked imusic instruments

The East never did holy wars on the West.. East was advanced

No... no me gustó el sonido... definitivamente gutural.
Look at all the CCP bots in here
Is the racism in the title really necessary?

Si quiere puede talar todo un bosque para construir 1 solo instrumento, pero debería revisar sus diseños para desperdiciar menos madera.
