My New Oud

TruePharaoh21 - 10-25-2003 at 11:09 AM

I got a new Fathi Amin oud. With Mike's help, I was able to get some pictures of it to share with everyone here. Tell me what you all think. It's a zip file because there are about 8 pictures in it.

P.S. Thanks again, Mike. :)

The zip file is empty!:(

Hmmm... it works for me. I guess I'll have to post them up individually here.

congratulations. :applause:
i like this style of ouds, they look simple and great.
i hope u enjoy playing on that oud, and dont forget to post some audio files. :airguitar:

Yeah TP21,

Speaking of Majid...the guy did a killer job with the fix bro. You owe me for that lead. ;) It is too bad that it arrived with a cracked rib. But after he fixed it, if you weren't looking for it you would think it was never there. So, if anybody in the SoCal area needs oud fixing just let me know, and I can get you into contact with Majid. Of'course Doc O., Viken, and Jameel are also other great options.

Mike

PS: TP21...you sure your oud isn't really a buzzuq? :airguitar: Just kidding bud. Let's hear that bad boy!!! Oh, and I'll send you the Afif pics soon too.

Oh, let's not forget about Astrid for oud fixes in Europe too. She's fixed some ouds for some people recently, including Roman Bunka. He was very satisfied.

I started playing the oud 8 months ago, and I posted a file up on Wassim's site with my old oud. Now, 8 months later, I posted another file up. It's the same takassim of Farid's, but now on the new oud so you can see the difference. Tell me what you all think.

Nice job TP21. My only suggestion would be to slow down a little. Keep practicing bro! :applause:

TruePharaoh21 - 11-13-2003 at 01:04 PM

Yah man, I was in a rush at the time. Had to go to school but I wanted them to hear it. Oh well. So be it. I'll post another clip soon... not the same takassim of course... maybe a song... :D
