Tayyar oud

Stefan Andalus - 12-25-2005 at 10:08 AM

I am contemplating purchasing a Tayyar oud. Before doing this, since they are so expensive, I would like to actually try one out rather than depend on a sound clip. Is there anyone living the the San Francisco area or (after January 8th) in the Boston area who owns a Tayyar floating bridge oud that I might try out? I'm looking for a mellow, rounded sound, great sustain for vibrato, and wonderful action. I'm working on transcribing Bach for oud - and within the year will be publishing the music accompanied by a CD. The best way to reach me is via the following email : MRBAYNE@sbcglobal.net. Thank you, my friends.
