Souhail...sorry I can't show you I don't have the material for that at this time, maybe one day in Beyruth, in front of a meal of baklawat ?

But here is in attachement a version I recorded a few time ago. It is a piece we were many to learn at Naseer Shamma school in Cairo.

Hope to share more pieces with you, when I will finally get a good recorder. I have change my style of playing and the kind of piece I learn now. Being more interested in turkish style. I steal love iraki style, but I choose different kind of piece.

By the way Souhail, and as I think you are the member how posted an answer on Bassem Rizk video on youtube. Bassem answered me and you are perfectly right it is a Fadi Matta oud, customized to a 2 bridges system.

Best regards to both.

hey suz
in front of a meal of baklawaat?? no no, I am thinking about kebbeh nayyeh, tabbuleh, and arak
Is this you who plays in that recording? if yes, congrat pal, very well done. Looking forward to more recordings from you
I had a long talk with Fadi Matta couples of day ago he said that Bassem works mainly with him, reason why I said it's most probably a Matta oud. Bassem works with high tension strings to reach the sound you hear on his ouds. So fadi usually makes a strong built ouds for bassem since he knows that high tension strings are going to be used. But I was not aware about the 2 bridges system. What Bassem said? what's the purpose of it?

Hi Katakofka
...so baklawaat will come after. Ahhh and regarding to your taste, sure we can share a nice meal together..i won't forget next time I come there!...

About the record, yes it was from me, thank you for your comment. I will try to share others.

Bassem didn't precise me in details, but told me he was playing on the first oud Fadi built, which was customized, at least with those 2 bridges.
On the videos, we can see those 2 bridges and that the soundboard is not plane: the last part, behind the bridge make an angle toward the bowl.

This allow him to put higher string tension on it, I guess by a better repartition of tension on the soundboard. The whole thing giving this so particular sound.

Bassem didn't told me more about, sure Fadi can tell you more about.

Take care.

I put the link, if other members wish to see of which instrument we are talking about.
