ABOUT OUD FROM PREVIOUS POSTS .BUT IF SOMEONE HAS A NEW ISSUE AND WANTS DO DISCUSS IT .IT MAY TAKE A WHILE FOR HIM/HER TO GET A RESPONCE !BESIDES LIVE
CHAT IS REALLY INTERESTING ESPECIALLY IF IT IS ABOUT OUD .
SO WHAT YOU GUYS THINK ABOUT IT??LETS MAKE IT HAPPEN (UNLESS IT IS ALREADY THERE AND I'M THE LAST TO KNOW ABOUT IT)

Hi Alomari,
I was involved in a musicians chat room through a service called Paltalk a few years ago. The room wasn't limited to oud players though. Some kanun
and baglama players joined the chat regularly and we all had a lot of fun and tried to learn from each other. The problem is time zone difference.
People who live in Europe and the Middle East have to stay up real late in order to chat with people in the Americas, or they have to be divided. Same
goes for people who live in the US and Canada. In any case if you'd like to initiate such thing, look into Paltalk. It's a voice chat service where
attendees take turns talking or playing using a microphone. The sound quality is excellent. We even featured solo concerts of accomplished musicians
for a while. Text chat is used in the rooms as well.
Please let us know if you decide to setup a room. I am sure some people will like the idea.
Regards,
Udi Mike
