Charlie I think it's your problem. This page contains a flash file if this may help you. It will show a progress bar while loading.
Ed, this is Wissam Joubran, one of the three brothers of "Le Trio Joubran". He is a luthier in France. He studied violing making at first. Read about
him on http://www.wissamjoubran.com.

Hi Reda
http://www.arabicouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=7159#pid4...
I think it's gorgeous. There were some comments in the thread above about the name, but I think it's a translation issue. By 'Oud de l'annee' he meant
he was making himself one special oud each year. Not that he was awarding himself the prize for the best oud made anywhere in the world that year.
Strange though, as it's now l'oud de l'anee derniere, and no replacement in sight.
Beautiful craftsmanship though.

Amazing oud. I couldn't stop listening to the music.
Edward Powell - 3-25-2009 at 06:06 AM
Very very impressive!

I saw the Joubran brothers play in Montréal and it was amazing. They bring their music to a higher level by communicating so deeply together without
even looking at each other, I was truly impressed. And the sound and beauty of Wissam's ouds is incredible, he truly is a master oud maker and player.
I can't wait to get one of his instrument.
Reda Aouad - 3-25-2009 at 07:23 AM
Did you ask him to make you an instrument or yet?
Can you U2U me or email me with the details please? Im thinking of asking him if possible..
