Cümbüş
The cümbüş (; (:dʒymˈbyʃ)) is a Turkish stringed instrument of relatively modern origin. It was developed in 1930 by Zeynel Abidin Cümbüş (1881–1947) as an oud-like instrument that could be heard as part of a larger ensemble.〔 (Eric Ederer, ''The Cümbüş as Instrument of “the Other” in Modern Turkey'' )〕
The cümbüş is shaped like an American banjo, with a spun-aluminum resonator bowl and skin soundboard. Although originally configured as an oud, the instrument has been converted to other instruments by attaching a different set of neck and strings.〔(The Stringed Instrument Database )〕 The standard cümbüş is fretless, but guitar, mandolin and ukulele versions have fretboards. The neck is adjustable, allowing the musician to change the angle of the neck to its strings by turning a screw.〔 (Tom Waits Fan Club Library ) 〕 One model is made with a wooden resonator bowl, with the effect of a less tinny, softer sound.〔(Zeynel Abidin Cümbüş manufacturers, ''Cumbus Extra'' )〕
==Origin of the maker and the name==
The word ''cümbüş'' is derived from the Turkish for "revelry" or "fun", as the instrument was marketed as a popular alternative to the more costly classical oud.〔 Unlike inventors who name their inventions after themselves, Zeynel Avidin Cümbüş took his last name from his instrument. He was born Zeynel Abidin in Skopje, Macedonia and immigrated to Beyazit, Istanbul, Turkey.〔 His name is often written Zeynel Abidin Bey online in Turkey, where ''Bey'' is an honorific, such as ''mister''.〔(Encyclopaedia Brittanica definition ) 〕 Early instruments show his name as he wrote it Zeynelabidin (a single name, not two). When Mustafa Kemal Atatürk decreed that families take surnames in 1934, Zeynel Abidin adopted the name of his famous instrument.〔
