Talk:Cümbüş

Does the cümbüs exist in both acoustic and electric versions? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 144.139.89.254 (talk • contribs).

Translation
Translating "cümbüş" as "fun", while not incorrect, is a great simplification of the term. Cümbüş term has a much stronger meaning than simple fun, it could be described as something like crazy good times, a rave. This term also includes meanings of a carnival, a festivity. Actually "rave" might be a better match than "fun". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.233.98.36 (talk) 22:56, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Origin of maker
I found two sources of origin for the inventor of the Cümbüş, Zeynel Abidin Cümbüş. One source (a musical instrument store) said he was born in Thessaloniki, Greece. That source was http://www.mid-east.com/Info/cumbus.html. Another source says he was born in Skopje, Macedonia. The second source is http://ericederer.com/cumbus/cumbus.html. Not able to find a better published source. Chose to use the Skopje, Macedonia source for the reason that the author seems to have spent a fair amount of time researching.Jacqke (talk) 16:06, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
 * Found the the source for Skopje; published research paper on the origins of the instrument, now included in references.Jacqke (talk) 09:33, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

The masses are the poor, no?
This sentence makes no sense and should be revised, provided with a citation, or removed: "The cümbüş was inexpensive and was bought by people who couldn't afford a more expensive instrument; as a result, his dream of the masses accepting it was marginalized." Who are the masses if not the poor? Perhaps the writer meant to say "all social strata", "classical, ethnic, and folk musicians", "everyone" or words that effect. 70.105.233.44 (talk) 12:16, 8 February 2023 (UTC)
