Anyone familiar with Mustafa Said's album "Ouds"?

First of all his recording is a groundbreaking masterpiece and if you haven't heard it i highly recommend it!

To those who have, any idea how maestro Said made this?
Which ouds did he use? In what order were they recorded?

I can't imagine how he pulled this off by himself...

I haven't heard this album but I know that Mustafa plays mostly on several ouds made by Albert Mansour from Beirut.

I will ask Sebastian Stenzel for an update. I know Stenzel has built one oud together with Albert Mansour for Mustafa Said, and later he has built an oud for Mustafa entirely alone. I have been listening to this beautiful instrument at my home when Mustafa visited me...

So I'll ask what instrument he's playing now.
BTW I'll soon post a new thread about the new oud Stenzel has built for me. Quite thrilling. Stay tuned. I'm waiting for the pictures from Sebastian.
