Thanks for the nice words.
Mavro, it's my Hadi. This oud became my favorite in the recent years. I wasn't too crazy about it until I installed heavier gauge strings and tuned it
down a note. It made worlds of difference.
Regards
Udi Mike
ps: I am learning to sing those 2 Saba songs forum members helped me with. Thanks again guys.

Interesting about heavier strings and tuning it down.
What pitch are you using?

I tune it from high to low C-G-D-A-E-D. Haig Manookian helps me with the string configuration. (LaBella)
