Interesting to hear that beginners prefer more flexible rishas. I try to play oud for about one year now, and my horn rishas are about 0.6 to 0.7 mm
at the tip. Is that average or beginner's measure? What thickness do the pros play? I'm asking that because I find it difficult to make my tremolo
exercises. Using the same risha for all strings does not work too good. When I do tremolo starting on c and go down to g and d everything is fine, but
on the D string the tremolo gets more difficult, I often get stuck there. On the other hand, a thicker risha is more difficult to handle for me. What
do you suggest? For me the tremolo is the hardest technique to master since I met the oud. |
