Hello All!

As I notified the Forums members sometimes ago I and my friends will be taking some of our ouds to the Newport Guitar Festival. The ouds are now still at the stage of planning and I would like to ask you which oud(s) do you want me to outfit with a soundboard designed especially for Arabic tonality and which oud(s) for Turkish & Armenian?

Here are the ouds
