Hi Sabbassi.
Bravo for this very nice oud.
By the way, I want to ask you where to find lemon pegs.
I would like to try a set of these pegs on one of my ouds ( for aesthetic reason only! ).
Thanks.
Francis

Sabbassi builds ouds and sells them ... not enough room to keep them all

movie
Hi Chris, thank you for the big support all time. 
this oud is well balanced and have warm sound. need a while to open up as you all know the french polish on the face for protection always need time.
and off course the strings are new on the oud (the metal characters disapear after couple of weeks).
easy playing (strings are 3 mm at neck join).
here is a movie where you can see the whole oud (also the face): (don't pay attention to the noisy background and playing, I'm not good at it).

the pegs are from lemon, acquired from Morocco. I friend of mine in Marrakech make them.

I would like to order a set of these pegs.
Could I buy them from you or could you give your friend's address ( or phone if he speaks french )in Marrakech.
The video gives a good rendition of this beautiful oud!
Bravo!

Sabbassi,
Too bad you removed the video, others (like me) wanted to see what such an oud sounds and looks like!

Sorry fernandraynaud.
I'm not a good player and it sound terrible if I see and hear myself.
in the reality, a good player can promote a bad oud very wel and a bad player can do the same in a negative way.
the oud sound in the reality very nice, but when I play it myself I feel I don't do justice to the oud
I will put it back again soon.

Hi guys,
I miss the video too - I was listening to it a few times a day in anticipation of receiving this really unique oud. The combination of woods, colors,
craftsmanship and really impressive sound blew me away when I first saw this post.
Like many of us on the forums, I've been following Samir's building for a while, impressed by his craftsmanship, creativity and efficiency too. When I
first saw this instrument and heard how strong and even it's sound is, I was really impressed and couldn't help contacting Samir about it.
I've also discovered his friend Khalid Belhaiba's building artistry, along with many great Moroccan oud players on his site: http://www.belhaibaoud.com/
It's really amazing how much talent is in Morocco and somehow I haven't really been aware of it until now. I'm very glad that I'm finally in on the
secret (I'm sure my focus on Greek and Turkish music was part of the reason for my ignorance).
Inshallah, when the oud arrives safe and sound I will definitely post a sample or two of it online, but until then, I'd love to be able to hear that
short clip on youtube...
Many thanks,
mavrothi

Good choice Mav, the instrument sounds great right off the bat -- and the construction quality and materials are first rate; Samir you've got a great
eye ! I didn't figure on staining the maple, but it looks so rich. Enjoy Mav. Looking fwd. to the next project Samir.
Regards..Paul

Hey Samir,
it seems as if this oud model could become a top seller ... if you build more.

Hi Everyone,
thank you and I'm very pleased with your warm feedback and u2u's.
I will reply everybodys u2u tomorrow . and offcourse I will post he video again.
There is only just one thing I'm trying to achieve ; build a nice, sold and musicaly (arabic) sounding oud with the same charachtersitics like pro
guitars but with a reasonable price (depends on the wood used of course).
When I say pro guitars, I'm trying to use the same material used in the pro guitards. I mean, the neck join (honduran mahogany), neck: quarter sawn
solid wood or mahogany. and of course the body:maple, walnut, rosewood, honduras rosewood etc.. always use ebony for fingerboard and if available
ebony pegs or rosewood.
I will be builidng 5 ouds next from different woods, beautiful honduran rosewood, honduran mahogany(scares), flamed walnut, flamed maple and indian
rosewood. they will all be with rounded sound holes with rosettes and sitka spruce for the top.
here is the video again:

Again Samir, I need you to reply regarding the oud.
If you have been somehow unable to reply up until now because you are out of town or otherwise away from the internet, I understand, but I cannot
accept your silence if you are just avoiding responding to me.
