Thanks
For the very warm welcome.
Especially from my brother Dr Farouk, I see that you are a regular here.
I'll try to take a snapshot of the Oud, and a sound clip.
Salamat

Sound clip
Georges Bitar is in his early fifties his phone number in Lebanon is:
+961 3 237 137
I share it here because it's written at the back of the Ud. Not that I share personal information about people ususally :-)
I am trying in vain to attach a sound clip.
What is the limit of attachments sizea here?

Thanks

The piece is Samai Bayati by Ibrahim Aryan, I don't have it electronically, but I'll see what I can find.
Cheers

Hey Najib,
That was very very nice. I think you are inspired a lot by Saliba al Qatrib. Way to go my man.
Take care,
Mike

hello Najib,
Could you post a sound file for your oud but without any effects on the wave? It doesn't have to be long it could be very short. but the purpose here
is to hear how the oud sounds.
What's the range of prices for George Bitar's ouds?

Thanks Mike
Hi Mike,
Well spotted, of course after listening to Saliba's version no can play Semai Aryan the same again :-)
I'm also proud to say, although I've never met him, that he is a distant relative of mine. My mum's cousin is married to his sister!
My parents, especially my dad (a church singer), met him a lot, and they held a lot of mutual admiration.
Also dear mjamed, I didn't add any effects on the wave, but I had to compress it a lot, I'll try to add a short clip later on this week.
Bitar's range is definitely cheaper than Ghadban's. I got this Oud for around 800 dollars 5 years ago.
