Hi
This is a folk Iranian piece that is familiar for many people but I played that on different rithem and though I would share it with you guys here.
thanks for listening.

Afarin Ali. 
Mashallah. Very nicely done. Is this a mohammadi
barbat?? What tuning scheme do you use?
Ali - 4-14-2006 at 05:51 PM
thanks
peyman , How are you ?
Yes it is . I got it last December .
I used 440mhz on tuner , if its what you mean.
by the way I heard (from Ostad) that you have a Mohamadi and want to sell it , is that right?
What do you want to get instead?
Peyman - 4-14-2006 at 08:29 PM
Hi Ali,
I think you meant Pouya. I think he has a couple of barbats. Hopefully I can get a Mohammadi barbat next year (or make one myself 
). I have a Turkish oud and a cumbus.

Very nicely done Ali! Nice playing... what type of strings did you say you use?
Hi
Ali - 5-7-2006 at 08:00 PM
Hi Arsalan
thanks ,
I Use Aquila strings , Aquila sounds good on my Mohamadi barbat , but I have a Nariman Oud and that doesn't sound
good with Aquila , So I guess it's pretty much about the instrument and what kind of string soud better on it.
Thanks again

Hi Ali
I'm Oud-Beginner. A simple question: Are you playing alone? It
sounds like a little orchestra, minimum 2 persons.

Hi
Oh Thanks , its is not a little orchestra , I play alone , but I use almost all empty places to play with my bass . it is a skill but will be gained
by more practice .
Thanks again .

Hi Ali again
Again i heard your peace, it's amazing. 
It seemed
to me you touch with your plectrum the high tones
an the basses in the same time. But you change very
quickly.
Another question:
We in western music have only Dur and Moll-tonality.
In oriential music you have the maqam's. Now the question:
can you play freely or are you bound to play in a certain
maqam. Sorry, i'm greenhorn in arabic music, but i'm curious.
Greetings
Alfred

Thanks for complement .
well ye , let me start with this :
for more specific about Arabic maqams you would want to talk to an Arab musisian . becouse frankly I don't know much about Arabis maqams either .
I am from Iran( Persia ) , and play Iranian( persian ) Music .
Arabic , Persian & Indias . Musics are three major existing forms of Oriental Music and with all common things they have , they are generaly quit
different .
A Persian Maqams is called DASTGAH and and has its own construction ( we have seven major dastgahs and five minor Dastgahs [called Avaz] ), .
Indian maqam is called RAGA .
Back to your question :
for short I'm not sure about Arabic maqams but in Persian Music we can move from a Maqam (Dastgah ) to another.
It has to be done right way otherwise the piece will sound bad .but its right ways are pretty simple and doable .
you can visit My website ( www.oudiran.com )
I have some information about Iranian style Oud .
I hope I could help .
Thanks again
