Hey guys,

Heres a video I recorded of me playing a taksim.

There are a few errors in there, like parts of the makam and phrasing (me trying to bite off more than I chew ;))

Enjoy!

Regards,
Paddy

What kind of oud do you have? It sounds very nice

Thanks for your replies everyone,

It is made by Yilmaz ıPek in Izmir. The back is made of Venge.
Not a great oud, it was about seven hundred dollars australian. It does the job however, I intend to order something really good next year. Maybe a Faruk, Cankaya or Ramazan Usta oud.

The strings are Hank Levin's MusiCaravan strings. These are a big improvement from what were originally on there. I had labellas before, they were really good as well.

Glad you like the sound, Thankyou.
