Hello, slowly, like a newborn centipede, I'm finding my ways on the 8 course Stenzel oud.
Here are two entries into 'My Oud Diary' - the very first attempts to record on this oud... two different microphone pairs are used for each of
these.

Hi Rojaros, beautiful instrument. Never seen an 8 course oud before, the pressure on that neck must be considerable. The low G on top is certainly
unique, I didn't know that was an option!

Great oud Robert, congratulations

Thanks everybody!
I don't know about the pressure; I'm playing a set that has been calculated by Stenzel for the 440Hz tuning and I'm tuning to 415Hz (I kind of like
it, it's more lush and relaxed).
So the strings are not at their nominal tension. Slightly less body in the sound, but more air - I quite enjoy it that way.

Great sounding ax, beautifully crafted - enjoy it in good health !! I couldn't get the 2nd (14B) to work - the link wasn't found. Thanks for
posting.
Regards - Paul
