Rita
Hi all 
This Rita - Marcel Khalife.
Yesterday I put on a new Daniel Mari set.. It's the first time I try it.. they are not perfectly settled and not 100% in tune yet..
I must say that I was very impressed by their sound from the second day.. the bas strings have the best sound I've listened to so far between all the
sets I've tried and they're still not even settled.. and they will surely improve. Though, I didn't like the nylon strings.. they're more like fishing
strings.. I should replace them with nylon strings maybe from LaBella which I liked a lot.. Please don't judge on them based on the recording.. its
quality is pretty awful (2$ microphone) and doesn't show the oud's sound at all.. I am waiting for my new Zoom H4n to be delivered next week.. and
will then post good quality recordings..
Anyways.. back to Rita.. it is one of the hardest pieces I've played so far.. and this is my first take - recorded today.. of course you may notice
some mistakes.. it's not perfect and has some of my personal touch if you may feel in some places it's different from the initial recording.. but I
would ask you for any comment you may say.. I welcome all comments and are waiting for them
Here is the link..

Thank you
But I still didn't get a oud from Nazih. I just ordered one today which will be finished by the end of July And of course Nazih's ouds sound much better!

Hi Reda Aoud - Marcel has written many lovely pieces for oud, and your playing of his Rita is very good! by any chance would you have the sheet music
for this song? I'm sure you'll be over the moon when you receive your new oud from Nazih. Give him my regards if you collect in person.  regards, MW
