Help in questions, please
Hi everyone
I am just new on this forum, originally from Iraq, it is great to be a member and share the experiences of everyone. I am actually a Guitar player for
more than 27 years, playing Arabic and Maqam Music on my several of guitars. However I have two Ouds started to practice with them about two years
ago, One is old Egyptian 1932 and one from Syria- student style, I don’t like the sound on them both, however they done the job for me so far.
I went to Egypt this year, but did not like any of the Oud I saw there, they don’t give a sound that I am looking for. My cousin has Iraqi 1974 Oud
made by Mohammad Fadel & Sons, the shape is very classical. Once I touch this Oud, my fingers start to play so soft and the sound is brilliant.
I have two questions:
1- I am now ready to buy the perfect Oud; however being in UK is hard to find one, which I need to try first, any recommended one to buy from the
Internet. I do like the Al-Tayyar new Oud. How do they sound? Any body knows? Or any one can recommend quality Oud that I need to buy from a Musician
not a just sales person.
2- What about the Electric Oud? Made by Sukar in Syria? Has anyone tried one, and how much is it in the market? Playing the guitar gave me a good
experiences in this side, in which pick ups I use, or amplifiers or pedals that goes with it ...etc?
Any help will be appreciated,
Regards to all
Ayar
