Is that a pre-moustache Richard Hagopian I spy at 14:59, with Jack Chalikian on kanun? The oud playing certainly sounds very much like Richard. Nice zeybek too.

The oud player at 14:59 - I think is a very young John Bilezikjian. Jack Chalikian on Kanun, and I don't recognize the Dumbek player. The oud player at 3:09..I have no idea. Interesting oud tho.
Also, I think you've got Ara Sevanian on Kanun at 10:07. A pretty interesting video overall - especially since all the musicians go un-credited. My favorite statement: "on the oud it's possible to play notes that are very close together" :)
