2 of my ouds in the hands of Ghassan Al-Yousif and his wife Dina Abdulhameed.

Both ouds are 57 cms scale length floating bridge.. Ghassan's oud is Indian Rosewood and Englemann Spruce, while Dina's oud is Indian Rosewood and Western Red Cedar..

I truly enjoyed the concert and here you can enjoy 7 pieces from the concert..

These videos are my gift to Master Faruk Turunz and to all forum members.. I hope you enjoy them..

First.. My favorite.. A piece composed by Ghassan called Aaah .. (Moaning in Pain).. Oud and Cello

Ali, I am pretty used to hearing wonderful sounds from your work ever since that first video of your first oud that you and fadel played. I am sure video quality do not give justice to your ouds' sound. Those videos are wonderful. Especially that rast taqasim.

Mabrook. athbat nafsek o Testahel kel 5air ya doctor. :)

I hope to one day get myself an oud of your work when I get back to the home country.

You are a great artist Ali Bey. The both ouds sound very well. Thank you so much for your precious gifts, delicacy and generosity.
