Very Nice :) i liked it and it would be great if you could post an mp3 of your playing

it would've been much nice if you post one with clearer fedility and less echo.

cheers

Dear mjamed,
Thank you for the compliment. Frankly I'm not happy with the sound quality of that clip. The oud is almost a replica of Munir Bashir's oud, made by the late Mohammad Fadel, and it's crying out loud for suitable set of strings that I still can't find. The moment this oud got in my hands, I just couldn't wait and was so easger to hear it in action, so I installed Medium Thomastik strings. However, I believe it rather needs "Light" strings, which brings up the question: does anyone know where to find original Thomastik-Light strings for this baby !?!?
Besides, my friend here over-edited the clip sound I think.

As I said, planning to play it again probably on an Armenian oud this time (by Artin Hatun) that sounds really amazing !
Will post the mp3 for that one.

Best regards,

Sounds great... very emotional.... I'm looking forward to the MP3.
