But is amazing how you have concentrated most of that sounds in your incredible instruments! |
...however, I
have finally realised that an oud is an oud. I tried to combine it with a sarod, but in the end I am letting it find it's own way, it's own soul and
sound - since it is not an oud anymore. But the main point is that makams can be played on it. (and ragas also)

| Hi Edward, yes though it's a bit off topic thanks for posting the sitar clips; and like Nicola I also am learning to play this amazing instrument and
interested in Indian and Arabic musics. I agree- an oud is an oud and a sitar a sitar, each with it's own sound and technique. on the subject of sitars, have you come across Niladri Kumar who
