The sound is beautiful but, truthfully, I do not play it much at all.
I am still pretty new at all this and I really have a lot of problems with microtones. So, I am pretty much just sticking with my Turkish ouds, and
hoping I can get it straight with those, before I start to tackle an Arabic oud.
I do love the fingerboard. A lot. It is just that I see some of these incredible, incredible Nahats and, relatively, this one is pretty basic.
Doesn't bother me, though. For me, the tone is always the thing.
Thanks a lot.

beautifully decorated...i love it.

No, I feel no buzzing at all.
This is the first oud that I have that has a really decorated fingerboard, and I was worried about that. But, I guess the hardness of the woods must
be pretty similar, because they have worn equally.
I once had an old oud that had that tiled-edge purfling on the sides of the fingerboard, and it had worn at uneven rates, and it buzzed. So, I have
really shied away from that.
But, here, the woods must both be so hard that this is not a problem.

verry nice I really like it Jonathan
On the topic of wearing the fingerboard. I was given a set of strings by my teacher that are nylonwound so there not nearly as abrasive as a
silverwound string. Its worth it if your instrument has a delicate fingerboard. I dunno the name of the set. But I know he has some I'll ask him next
time I see him.
Cheers

>by the way for me 13strings has been a final and happy >solution due to the always hard decision on what tipe of >tuning to use, 11 or
12strings?so it's all in one....
>Salamat
The high f string is also very common among Iraqi musicians and some of them including myself when playing on 7 course oud add a higher top string
above the f and then
you have a very high tuning. To add supplementary bas strings to use as pedal/drone is not virtuosity.
Best wishes
Ronny

Hello Ronny,
thank you for the info on iraqi oud!... i was already knowing about that...
You know also that High Fa is still common in the Middle East (Lebanon.Syria..)but i don't play iraqi tuning, i played since i begin with 11strings
standard tuning and only few times changing to 12...so for me (as it could be for many others)switch to 13strings(not iraqi...) has been a very nice
effect...
I agree That adding a pedal is not virtuosity, it's just feeling...i don't know about you but i cannot live without that warm bass string!!!...
...maybe it's due to my double bassist past...by the way i don't care about virtuosity...(and it's a very personal conception)i just play what i feel
i and love to do it!
Best wishes also to you Ronny

Samir, the strings did have a beautiful sound--very sweet and, as you said, mellow. I appreciate the offer, but right now I just don't need any more
strings. If you happen to recall the name of them, though, please let me know for my own future referance.
Thanks again.

Mar7btine ya sayed Elias
I just found this thread. Amazing sounds you play Elias. I was almost giving up on the oud, but you bring in a new inspiration. It is so refreshing
to hear your energetic and dynamic playing style with such power and clarity. Thank you man.
(P.S. The Na7at sound is so rich and complex, fantastic)
