Hey everybody,
I was lucky enough to hang out with Afif and Wael this weekend. I was showing them my new sycamore oud, and we were comparing it to some of my other
ouds. I recorded Afif playing my sycamore oud and my ebony oud made by Maurice Shehata. I also recorded Afif playing his new Shehata oud, which is
made of a dark walnut, or labbakh. Which sound do you prefer?
Take care,
Mike
Mike, The ebony sounds ¨dull¨ and very weak at the higher register. The sycamore is very nice but Afif's own oud stands out among them and is
my favorite. |
