Phenomenal!
As a side issue what exactly is the translation of "Zenne"?
I know in Bosnia, Croatia and Serbia (probably also Bulgaria but Im not certain) it means woman which is fitting with the type of Oud! Serbo-Croat has
many Turkish words in it and this could be one but google translate doesn't agree! LOL

Samir, really a phenomenal playing by a phenomenal young man
Su, the dimensions of the zenne (for ladies) oud are:
Body length: 478 mm
Body width: 347 mm
Body depth: 170 mm
Neck: 190 mm

Bodhi, thank you for the interpretation of "zenne"
Leon, I'm glad that we share the same feeling and evaluation
for this gifted young man. He's been playing the oud for only four years
