OudStrings.com update - final sale!
Dear fellow oudis!
Many of you know this already, but I am shutting down OudStrings.com. I want to thank all of you for your support over the years.
As I clear out my remaining inventory, I am heavily discounting all strings and other products (tuners, humidifiers, manuscript paper, books, picks,
etc.).
I'm also offering my book of transcriptions of sama'is, longas, etc. as a PDF download: https://www.oudstrings.com/Classical-Arabic-Instrumental-Sheet-Music...
Thanks again, it's been a pleasure helping everyone find the right strings for their ouds over the years.
cheers,
Brian

Brian, I was sad to receive your email announcing the closure of your oud string business.
It was not just a commercial enterprise, but a very valuable consultancy service you provided without payment for so many.
Many thanks for your dedication.
Warm regards,
Greg

haha, you said it brother!
And thanks to everyone who messaged my with similar sentiments. I'm glad to have been able to help so many fellow oud players find the right strings.
But sometimes it's just time to move on—my primary work has always been performing and teaching, and I'm looking forward to being able to focus more
exclusively on that; I think that I can actually be more useful in that regard.

Hi Brian,
Sounds like I was a little late to the party!
Did you happen to have music sheets for the Bil Afrah album in your collection?
Thanks,
Amir

Hey Amir!
I did transcribe the whole album and am planning to make the collection available soon—I just need to go through and check on mistakes, clean up the
readability.
