My dear Friend
You have a very good taksim in Turkish style.:applause: All sounds and notes are solid and correct. :applause:Istif and sentences are in proper order:applause:
But the taksim is not in Huseyni; it is a very good example of Ussak.
The enterence is very classic ussak enterence, Your second istif=sentence is Huseyni but it does not make the taksim Huseyni as your third sentence is Muhayyer but your taksim is not. Ending you are hiting a single note of Huseyni but it is classic Beyati ending for Turkish music. So I like your work very much when I listened it as Ussak Taksim.
You are very talented and have a good teacher who ever he is.:applause:
Keep working.

Dear oudmaker,

you are absoulately correct about makam mixup on my end. It is an Ussak taksim. Thanks for clarifying for the sake of the group members as well.
I had never recorded and shared anything digitally until yesterday. I recorded a huseyni taksim and saved it as huseyni taksim. I found the input to be way too low when I listened to my work. I tried to repair the sound track, but instead made it worse :(. I deleted and rerecorded on the same track.
I should've listened to it before posting it to the group. My apologies everyone.

I will post more as I become more comfortable with digital media.

Thanks for listening.
Regards

Hi,

Your playing is beautiful, I hope you do continue to share. I really enjoyed it. I live in NY, if you'd ever like to get together let me know (I live in Queens).

Take care,

thank you for your clip, i enjoyed it very much as well. i am going to go out on a limb here and venture to say that you either have listened to a lot or have had some lessons from ara dinkjian. i can hear some of his phrasings in your playing. either way, congratulations, you've achieved a very refined turkish oud sound, and i hope we'll get to hear more.

Hi Maran,

I would say that's a pretty accurate observation. Ara is a very dear friend of mine. I did not take lessons from him, but worked with him in many occasions during our 20 years old friendship.
The influence is definetely there I think. Additionally some of the masters both Ara and I like to listen to must have contributed to the similarity.
