A quickie sound sample. The playing is rough, but you can at least get a sense of how the instrument sounds.

Hi Jonathan

That sounds terrific, sounds young as you'd expect but great projection, resonance and separation.

You should be proud of that ... btw I like your playing :)

That's really nice Jonathan, :applause:

I notice the Arabic tuning, yet (hard to really tell from a youtube vid, with new strings and all, I know)... it seem's to have more of a Turkish tonality about it. (have you tried Turkish tuning on it...what is the string length?)

Thanks. You're right. It is tuned DGAdgc. Whenever I have made an oud, I tend to just slowly tune up the strings, and start at this lower tension and let the oud settle in a bit with it. Probably not needed, but I do it anyway. I do need to tune it up one more tone, though, and see how it sounds. The oud is based on Turkish size and bracing.

Hey yeah, I'm with you there, I would definitely do the same, and probably tune it up only a semi-tone first, better safe than AGHHHRRR!
