Yemeni oud
My first Oud...
Summer 2005...holiday in Yemen : landscapes, people, culture, music...music!!
After sharing several evenings with Yemeni musicians dancing & singing I decided to get an oud at a local store in Sanaa. Found a used one for
140$ (missing strings, some scratches...) to give it a try...
I'll try to post a picture of the label for translation - where is this oud coming from?
Back in France I could not keep my hands off it!! "Fairly" easy to play/tune and quite stable over time...but I wanted a brighter tone.
I have now bought a new one - floating bridge, very nice look/sound - but that's where my troubles begin... I will post some questions in the
maintenance/tech tips part of the forum. Hope you guys can help a "beginner" to get this thing right and playable!
Guilhem.
Note : Please excuse the quality of my english. I do not believe it's that bad (especially for a frenchman!) but I really lack some vocabulary on
oud...

Thanks for the info. I believe it is coming from Aden but I have no way to check.
Won't prevent me to play it...
