New 'Shahed' model oud

Here's an Oud I completed recently. This is a new shape I am calling the 'Shahed' model, which is designed to bring out certain harmonics after analysing the spectral analysis, and also be more comfortable to hold (the latter of course more subjective based on body shape!)



Here are a couple of short improvisations to show the sound:
