Bored with sama'i??
Sometimes you get bored of sama'i, then you find Simon Shaheen playing something like this. I love the first khana, and the last khana, not to mention
a great taqasim after the last khana

I have been watching some of his videos. He is a true master with the oud. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Bulerias,
1. Never bored with samais !!!
2. Strange that you post this today. I am precisely studying it now. But I know another recording that I've found on a record of the cellist Maya
Beiser. She has invited Simon Shaheen to play with her that "Samai Nahawand".
But there is something weird : the first khanat is not the same. And they play it starting from Do.
You can listen to the entire rendition here.

So, he has decided to change the first khanat.
And I agree with you John, the first khanat he plays in the video is better.

I think the video is from Haifa in 2007 . . . the other recording is older. He decided to change the 1st khana, much for the better IMO.

I agree. The new version has a much more introductory/expository air to it. For a long time I thought the old version was an incomplete recording
because that first khana felt a little sudden.

I've never seen an oud with asymmetric secondary soundholes like that before. Who made it and what does it do?

My mistake. I was looking at 1:31 where the microphone gets in the way, and with that frame round it, looks like a hole in the oud with a simple
knotwork border.
