As a guitar player who is about to take delivery of his very first ever oud next week, I look forward to playing my new possession in the manner
employed on the vid - though perhaps without the Pete Townshend-type destruction pyrotechnics!Mehran - 12-1-2010 at 03:39 AM
Terry, what oud did you order in the end? Where did you find it?
Regards

Upon request, David kindly sent me 2 pics of the oud - an elegant-looking Michael Moussa piece with not too much decoration for my Western eyes.
I then e-mailed the pics to Mr. Moussa. He kindly confirmed that the instrument was made by him about 4 years back & bought by David; that the
instrument was a Munir Bashir-style Iraqi model with a back of rare "zebrano" wood and a floating bridge. He was courtesy itself.
I intend to take delivery of the piece on Friday 10 December. I'll let you know how this guitar-picker gets on. Mehran - 12-2-2010 at 01:09 PM

all know how you get on.
