Thanks Adel, I'll contact Al-Saqi Books right away. I saw their shop recently (when I went to the Asim al-Chalabi concert in the Kufa Gallery next door), but it was closed at the time.

Best wishes

Hi Zul

Unfortunately I did not have the equipment to make an audio or video recording of the concert. However, Asim al-Chalabi played mostly the tracks from his CD 'Monajat'. Do you have this CD? It is available from Maqam.com

Hi

Is anyone familiar with the following book, which I saw advertised in an online Arabic bookstore:

"Tarikh alat al-'ud wa sina'atuhu" (History of the Oud and its Manufacture) by Sanat Hamdi, Egypt, 2000.

It's advertised for $2.40 at http://www.e-kotob.com

Best wishes

David

Hello David Parfitt,

I'm looking for the same book, "Dirasat al-Ud". Did you find it?
