Sultanahmet which is one of the most shamest places in Istanbul
has a street called Sogukcesme between Gulhane Park and Topkapi
Palace. It is a historical street and has wooden houses on its both
sides. There is also a [cesme] in the middle of this street which
looks like as if it wants people to have a drink from it. Actually
name of that street is oriented from that fountain. May be lots of
thirsty people freshened and many of other had a break next to it in
past.
After giving a break at that fountain, while you are downing this
old street you may think and try to get a relationship between past
and now. Even you may wispher:" God knows, many many people have come
and left this old world... "At that moment it is most likely to hear
some melodies from a song called Dombra Alamin, which belongs to Dede
Korkut. Those melodies takes you immediately to a house not cool at
all in contrast to its street's name, Turkish Music House.
Ferudun Obul, who founded this music house and has given his
ten years to it, says that their aim is to open a time passage between
the old days of Central Asia and today.He also says that in this
house the instruments whose origin is Central Asia are produced with
out any loss of their original characteristics. They also resarch about
the improvment of Turkish Music in the history.
