Intro.
Hello Guys,
It's been a while since I posted any taqsim.
I was asked to record a short intro for a new cd and I would like to share it with you.
Enjoy ..
Kind Regards,

Wonderful Emad. Your playing is inspirational.
The sound is great, was this recorded in a studio?
Regards,
Greg

Thank you Mike and Greg for your kind words.
Mike, my playing is no where near yours man.
Yes Greg, it was recorded at the same place where I recorded the CD for my daugther's baptism.
This is the 75 Egyptian pounds oud believe it or not.
Kind Regards,

Very Nice, Emad. That oud sound surpirsingly good. The reverb or delay or whatever you have going there does not do justice to your playing though.
Especially when you end a phrase on the high c, the "decay" sounds very metallic, and to my ears detracts from your taqasim.

Very Nice Emad!
I don't mind the reverb that much... maybe it could be turned down a little bit but a lot of professional recordings have this level of reverb. Large
hall reverb gives a kind of austerity to the sound - less reverb would be a litttle more intimate. It depends on what you're aiming for in the
feeling.
Good luck with the CD!

Big Thanks
Thnak you Mike, Jameel, Lee Varis, Samir and neyzen
Guys I really appreciate your kind words. This feels so great.
The reverb was a little higher than needed this is true even though it is still acceptable to many oud listeners. But it was only an introduction and
the rest of the CD is vocal praising with a hardly heard oud in the back ground. The oud was not the focus of the CD. I will ask for less reverb next
time.
Thanks again for you great feelings. 
Kind Regards,
