Of course! ; ) I was just curious if you knew if it was a large condenser or small condenser type microphone. Beautiful sound no less!The studio
room sounds great as well! Must have been fun to record there.

It was a small condensator! And the take was not made in a studio, but in church!
And yes, it was wonderful to play there 
P.s. Now I am only playing 7-course ouds.
As Katakofka says it:
When you go there, you don't go back 
The wood might be dead, but the oud is alive.

I tune my 7-course ouds to BEEAADDggccff
That simply adds 3 low notes.
But that is NOT the reason why I am sticking to 7-course.
It is the fact that the strings are much closer to each other!
I love it that way.
And now that I am used to 7-course, when I try to play my 6-course ouds my fingers fall the wrong places.
So I had to decide what to play. And I decide to go for 7-course.
The wood might be dead, but the oud is alive.

It's as if the oud can occupy 5, 6 or 7 notes out of the range
B E A D g c f ->
With the option of adjusting the bass to complement the current maqam.
I like C EE AA DD gg cc but retuning the C bam string to B or D on the fly is simple. The common tuning of the E course to an F is also in the spirit
of tuning to common maqamat. When you look at it this way, all the nonsense about "the oud can be tuned in a baffling number of regional tunings" goes
away. It's always acending fourths, with the bottom "flexible".
To have a set of ff strings is nice even for a 5 or 6 course oud, because you can install them on the top course and install the others a "step" down
if you want to have one "solo" oud. Bill Ostrie sells a 0.020" string pair for that at $0.75 to go with the Daniel Mari sets.

Finally I learned how to do it
Video taken with my mobil phone E71. Not a fancy quality, and some horrible overtones on the high strings.. but OK all in all.

I take that as a compliment
Now Tony, of the two Sukars I posted, do you think any of them sounds like a Sukar?

That was just an "internal" thing going between Tony and I.. nothing serious,
just teasing him
