hi Peter- nice take on this maqam. I'm curious to what you are playing it on, it dosen't look quite like an oud, is it a viheula or some early form of the guitar? thanks!

jaja...MattewW, you are not the one who says that; i'll tell you that my father is pioneer on making instruments, this is one of his experiments; in this case the back of this instrument is totally flat, in other terms, it is a semi - Oud; but the sound aproaches to one.

Regards!
