I enjoyed reading this article in The View from Fez and thought that I would share it with the forum. Moroccan oudi and luthier Ahmed Shiki
discusses the four-course oud ramal and the healing properties that are ascribed to it in medieval music theory, which he continues to take advantage
of in the twenty-first century. Some nice pics included, along with a video sample of a recent Shiki oud.
