Selling my Gimbri/Sintir
Hey Guys- going through some financial things right now so I'm parting with my Gimbri... I love it but it's the one thing I'm willing to sell...
It's a folk instrument- It's not what we would call professional, but it has a great sound when mic'd right and it's a lot of fun to play. Gut
strings are tied and hammered, with a sort of pulley system for tunning. Gold trim around the edge of the camel-skin resonator.
This is a Moroccan Gimbri- although some have called it a Sintir... My friend Hisham who sold it to me called it Gimbri (and he's Maghrebi) so thats
what I'll call it.
I'm asking for $320

Hello Tarik. I like your gimbri, it looks very "roots" but I'm centred only on oud for the moment; three under the same roof... then
would be one too many!
Do you sell your bicycle?

The stool could be as magic as N. Shamma
chair after all ?

Hey Tarik,
I will be interested in buying your Guembri but not for that price.
Let me know if you can lower the price, and we will see what we work out.
Thanks.
