New member says Hi!
Hi everyone!
I'm a Swedish musician living in New Mexico, USA right now. I play alot of instruments: winds, strings, bowed etc from different countries (mainly
traditional Swedish folk music). I just whanted to say this forum is awsome. 
I don't own a Oud, but for right now I'm practice and study the maqamats on the Turkish cumbus. I hope very soon I'll be able to get me a beginners
Oud. In the mean time I've put up a video of me trying to play a taqsim on maqam kurd with my cumbus (I have only studied middle-eastern/arabic music
for a couple of weeks).
Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hO3RZebQ88&mode=related&sea...
Please give comments and/or critique and tell me if I'm on the right track.......
When it's time to get my first Oud I'll probably will be much more active here 
Keep up the god work everyone and keep this amazing forum alive!
Oh, by the way I also play the baglama saz. Does anyone have any good sites or tunes for the that to study...
Namaste
Fredrik

Hi Fredrik
There is a well-known oud player from New Mexico called Rahim al-Haj - you might want to check him out: www.rahimalhaj.com
All the best

David - Yes I know! I'm very excited (to say the least) about that. He will have a concert in september in Albuquerque (40 min drive
south of Santa Fe) and I will try to approach him then.
Mr Haluk - You are on the top of my list for my first beginners oud. I have built some instruments myself (didgeridoos, swedsih
bagpipes, flutes etc) and I really like your work according to pictures and sound from this site.
And you seems to be a man with a big heart and do things because you love it than the greed of the money. That can be rare to encounter these
days.......

welcome, habibi- Haluk is indeed a choice for a Turkish Oud- You should also look into Arabic Ouds as well, there are a number of people who can point
you in the right direction here- again welcome to your new obsession!
