Hello,

Here's a link to the first part of a 4 part series by Al Jazeera Documentaries about the oud throughout history.

It's in arabic, but I think some members of the forum might find it interesting.

Enjoy :)

I can't understand Arabic, but I also cannot stop watching this! It is so beautiful in many ways....the music, filmwork,the artwork and paintings. The young lad keeps it interesting as well, showing a beautiful intrigue for the instruments he is looking at, especially Oud. I can understand somewhat what the narrator 'might' be explaining in parts but because it is in arabic, I am limited, but still very enjoyable!
Thanx very much for posting this!

ps: Check out the pegs on the oud at the 4:35 mark. Wow!!!!!!
Pss: Yeah, Hazem Shaheen, hooray! I love listening to his stuff.

Really nice! I sent it to my professor, he will probably understand this documentary.

I didn't find it very scientific.
