Hi everyone.

Mark your calendars. The New York Arabic Orchestra will be performing at Symphony Space in New York. The NYAO is led by composer/conductor/multi-instrumentalist, Bassam Saba. I will also be playing the oud in this performance.

Also, I'm planning to have made an oud and will be playing it for the gig. You can follow the progress of my oud right here on Mike's oud forum.

I wish I could be there. But NY is very far from home.

Otherwise, Bassam Saba has a very nice oud.
Do you have details about it ?

I do have the details about his oud in fact. It was recently broken and needs repair! Someone sat on it!! Its in critical condition. Unforunately. Has a wondeful sound. Its an old Egpytian oud, with the face made new by Najib Shaheen.

I did that to my first oud when I was two or three years old... not pretty.
