Great!, I have the same one with a fixed bridge.
That's the first time I'm seeing a Haddad's with a floating bridge, a friend of me ordered one, it's still in construction, can't wait to try it and
maybe get one for myself.
I like haddad's work, I think his ouds have a nice warm sound.
Best,
Ryadh,

Waw, very nice music and very nice playing Gregory.
And I agree with Ryadh, your oud has a wonderful sound.
Very warm for a floating bridge.
Could you give us details about the strings you use. Brand, tension, tuning.
Congratulation once again.

Hi !
Yes Haddad's ouds seems to be great (I play the only Haddad I saw in my life...), and I'm very happy with mine (except my treble f strings, but I'm
working on the way I have to play it to keep the warmness of the other strings, not easy...).
Robert, thanks for your kind words ! Yes it sounds warm for a floating bridge, but it wasn't easy at the beginning. It's my first floating bridge oud,
and when I played it for the first time, I was really really pleased with the dynamics, the response and the sound, but it asked me some work with my
right hand to find the sound I wanted too, something between fixed and floating bridge. The richa had it's importance for me in this case, and as I
have a strong attack (too many rehearsals without mic but with percussions in my first oud years), I work actually on playing the softer I can with
the more sound possible. This video is 1 year old, and I'm more happy with the sound I have on this oud now.
I tune it from bass to trebles like this: D (sometimes C) F (sometimes E) A D G C F with Pyramids strings I command with a gauge I've calculated with
Wolfgang Früh in Paris (I'm French). I don't have the tension in mind, sorry...
Gregory

I am looking forward to the release of your album, Gregory! I like very much these 2 videos of the recording sessions, thanks for sharing! Hope you

Thank you all !
The album will be released in February, and normally it will be presented in Switzerland. As we are living in Strasbourg (100 km from Basel), I hope
we will be touring in Switzerland, but if think we will !
