Excellent Video.

Please bring us more like this, Dr. Magdy El-Ashmawy!

There are those of us here that really love the old school playing.

Aywa, Aywa! This video is great. I've always wanted to hear what George Michel sounded like in his younger days. Thank you very much for this! More, more!

Allah allah,

Is tension on an Egyptian oud supposed to be lower than other ouds? It seems to achieve a certain characteristic sound.

Indeed, this video is amazing, thanks ya Dr. Magdy El-Ashmawy.

Can anyone tell, what is the song that is following the playing of the great George Mischel? thanks

The one second you hear of this piece is Semai Rast by Tatyous Effendi, a beautiful semai. Too bad we can't hear the rest

Nice!!
by the way I think it is tuned down and also it looks like a Gamil Georges oud a Luthier with Nahat'esque skills.
