One year before I decided to play this instrument.Maybe you want to ask why you are want to play gourd fiddle so much. To tell the truth, I impressed from Anna rf who are an ethnic group from Israel.

After than I started to learn how can I play. Almost for 8 month I play gourd fiddle in Samsun. During the first weeks I faced many difficulties about learning notes but I deal with this problem.

Today, I will prepare some concert and also for festivals in abroad.
