I really like the timbre you get, and your long phrases. What is the instrument?
Sazi - 9-3-2009 at 03:25 PM
You picked a hard one there!!! I'm not qualified to comment, but 10 points for even attempting it
By the way, have you heard this version?

Great !
I must agree with Fernand and Sazi.. very good attempt and nice old-school timbre and feeling.
That's a very good improvement so far

You give here an amazing rendition of Riyad Al Sunbati's taqsim rast.
Beautiful phrases well in style and great progression in the taqsim....
Bravo

Thank you all, I really appreciate your comments
Sombati is still my favourite oud player...
I like his way of taqsims ... He insists on exploring all possible melody combination of "Oukoud" plural of Akd (3 or four notes composing the maqam),
Sofar, I attempted his taqassims: bayati, nahawand, rast and kurd taqsim, and also iraq taqsim (Kuwait TV), However, I am not sure that he has
another commercial taqssim...I believe it is in Hijaz Kurd or HijazKar kurd ,.. Please inform me if anyone knows...I need toplay it anyway...
Sazi, I did not see this taqsim before today, but I did followed the real taqsim of Sombati and actualluy, I am still trying to improve my playing of
it ...

Sorry Guys, Sombati has Sikah taqssim (slightly different from the one played on Kuwait TV), and also he has hijaz taqssim... I am working on it
now....
it is attached below...
So he has on all maqams: Rast, Bayati, Sikah, Nahawand, Hijaz, Kurd except ajam and saba...
Anyone wanna give it a shot???

Thanks for the Hijaz taksim
Whatever we can find about Sombati, it's never enough...
I listened to your Rast and OudProff's one : I prefer yours ! I know how difficult it is without the right gear, outside of a studio and without
reverb... and you do it very well !
