Mood: still alive

It reminds me of the "taracea", a traditional marquetry with inlaid wood craftmanship, still alive in Granada, Al Andalus.

See this link
http://www.laguna-taracea.com/html/taracea2.htm

Andalusians fleeing barbarian ignorants and savage invasion fm the north brought muwashahas and......"taracea" to middle east in medieval ages.

String length seems big, like more than 60 cm.

Is it a heavy oud?

I though the more decoration the worst the sound, however yr oud sounds nice, so it was a good idea to put the oud in the hands of maestro Shehata

BTW You play nice.
