My fellow oudies. hello. Would any of you happen to have a sample audio cilp of a Samir Azar oud? His own demo clips, despite his masterful
playing, have such poor audio quality that it is really difficult to get a good sense for the sound characteristics of the instrument. Many thanks in
advance.

Hi Naser,
I have bouzouki from Samir Azar, and i can asure you, it is one of the best bouzouki. The sound quality is really great.
I have oud which Samir Azar replace it the face. And again he did excellent job. But i haven't order Complete oud from Samir. But he is good maker.
Sound clip, I sent sound clip while ago, i dont have right now but you will find in this forum. Go to Search and Write my nickname and or samir
bouzouki and i think you will find it. and i will try to find sound clip which i recorded for you.
Cheers

I have a 7-course Samir Azar Oud – its really great! I have an old sound file that may give you a general idea - unfortunately the playing is not so
great on it. This oud has taught me to play much better since I first got it. I recorded this right after I got it -- I'll post a new file in the next
couple of days!
Another sample

Here's a quick little sample I just made. Just put new strings on so they haven't had time to settle yet – tuned, low to high: A E A d g c f – 7
course. I recorded with a cheap microphone – no effects. This oud seems to have a kind of built-in echo naturally. Although it may not seem like it
on this recording it is a real canon! Very loud with a lot of projection. I tend to play a bit softer and you'll hear some "hybrid fingerpicking" at
one point.

Has anyone tried contacting Samir by email recently. I sent one a couple of weeks ago to address listed on his web site but no reply as yet. Any help
with contacting him would be appreciated.
Lee .Can I ask how are Samirs prices. I'm also wanting to find out how his compares with Shehata for sound/playability. you can snd me a u2u.
Thanks. Kelly
