Sound of Samir Azar ouds
My fellow oudies. hello. Would any of you happen to have a sample audio cilp of a Samir Azar oud? His own demo clips, despite his masterful
playing, have such poor audio quality that it is really difficult to get a good sense for the sound characteristics of the instrument. Many thanks in
advance.

Samir Sound
I have a 7-course Samir Azar Oud – its really great! I have an old sound file that may give you a general idea - unfortunately the playing is not so
great on it. This oud has taught me to play much better since I first got it. I recorded this right after I got it -- I'll post a new file in the next
couple of days!

Another sample
Here's a quick little sample I just made. Just put new strings on so they haven't had time to settle yet – tuned, low to high: A E A d g c f – 7
course. I recorded with a cheap microphone – no effects. This oud seems to have a kind of built-in echo naturally. Although it may not seem like it
on this recording it is a real canon! Very loud with a lot of projection. I tend to play a bit softer and you'll hear some "hybrid fingerpicking" at
one point.

with contacting him would be appreciated.

Thanks. Kelly
