Way to go Dani. I second everything that Samir said, and in addition -- I dig the sound of it !! So many times, electric solid body ouds don't sound like ouds -- but yours does ! Great job.

Regards..Paul

Hey dani

wow lovly looking oud. was never a fan of the sound of electric ouds but yrs sounds not so bad, keep up the good work.

thx sammy

Yeah! That oud sounds exceptionally accurate, especially for an electric! Haha, I think we will all agree that it does sound better than acoustic ones out there!

Hi Dani,

I as well as everyone else think that oud sound like acoustic oud with all of that rounded sound... amazing job man :applause:

is it possible to make another longer video, so we can have a chance to hear it better and if you can use a standalone mic not the camera's..

thank you for sharing,
