The oud is made of Greek wallnut,and Mahogany,with a gorgeous bowl,double filets[Manol] and a great marquetry style made by Tasos.Horn Rosetes and
many other materials that make the instrument looks Great.
As for the sound.....
In a couple of weeks,but believe me...it's amazing.

Hello,
i have been trying to learn playing oud since the last 5 months but unfortunately i have no time to practice due to my working conditions, though i
already brought one. I am sick on focusing on notes i want to learn playing songs directly, i admire this instrument and i dont want to quit playing,
please advice.
Thank you.
Ararat66 - 6-23-2008 at 06:36 AM

Wow, spyros, fantastic playing and a beautiful light, clear sound. Congratulations.
DaveH - 9-3-2008 at 01:17 AM
PS, I just saw the silent "practice" ouds on his site.
http://www.theodorakis.name/pop_up/uk/000028.html
It says they come in full size electric version. I remember a few people were asking after electric ouds on the forum recently. These would be like no
electric oud you've ever seen - in a nice way - and the way the struts are constructed you would have the full dimensions of the oud belly in your
lap. Just an idea.
spyros mesogeia - 9-3-2008 at 01:47 AM
Hello DaveH
Thank you for your kind words.
Tasos is an open minded person,and very straight to deal with.I like them too,but I allready have two electrical ouds
.
Tasos also did for me a custom luth with metall strings fretless...
Amazing........
I am very proud that in Greece we have some very good luthiers,and Tasos Certainly is one of them.
On my space I have a composition of mine,the ''far away moon'',I play saz,oud[Tasos],viola da gamba fretless,percution and vocals.Take a look and tell
me what do you think.The oud has a worm sound,I just love it.
