Hi everyone,

Thought I'd post a few stills from the Oud Project here in Adelaide last April.

Joseph Tawadros came down from Sydney to play, and at the end there was a big jam between four ouds onstage.

Joseph is just such a superb player and such a nice guy.

Yeah the first oud is a Faruk Turunz, belongs to a friend of mine here. He played it so he could play along with the rest of the ouds which were all turkish.

Yes I think that second oud was a shehata, I'm pretty sure it was. They both sounded absolutley sensational in his hands, the Shehata in my opinion was more suitable to his playing, the turkish oud is harder to play the arabic style on or so it sounded. Too intricate, but the shehata was a loud and powerful sounding oud.

The 3rd picture was an oud with sympathetic strings, he had some very good ideas with that and got some great sounds. Especially producing sort of chordal like sounds by hitting the playing strings, then leaving the pick to fly past and hit the sympathetic strings causing them to produce a chord.
Great sound.

I'll work on sound samples.
