Sameer Makhoul's double soundboard oud

amarock - 8-31-2008 at 03:11 PM

Hi my friends
Sameer came back from Istanbul with a famous double soundboard oud from Faruk Turunz workshop.
Yesterday he gave a concert in Jerusalem.Before he called me and ask me to bring my Grand Concert oud in order to perform some sings with it(because of the turkish tuning more appropriate for his voice).He played the musical parts with his new oud(arabic tuning)
It was for me the occasion to try the famous double soundboard oud of Faruk.
What can i say.............what a sound!
I just uploaded some clips i took with my mobile(sorry about the poor quality)
Enjoy

Great snaps of lovely instruments. Why do you call it 'double soundboard?
