I kind of wanna Try a D'addario custom set now. How light do you say the tension was on the original kurschners? 3.2-3.4 kg-ish? Cause I think that really light tension thin string feel added a wonderful airy resonance to the Matta Oud.

I guess the krushner were 3.5-3.6 kg similar to the d'addario I posted above. the Pyramid strings are 3.7kg they should be as good as the others. Anyways, good luck

Hey Suz
I haven't tried it yet. Here is what OudFreak wrote me by email about this new model:
I am attaching here a new oud model by Fadi Matta. Still floating bridge, walnut bowl, awesome sound, and the shape of the bowl has totally changed, deeper and rounder, closer to traditional, bass tawash! (he means amazing sound) Btw the pic gives the impression that the oud is rather flat in shape but that's not the case, it is only because of the oud position and pic angle.

Seems to be a great evolution, moreover his ouds had already a great sound.
But a deeper bowl doesn't make the oud a bit uncomfortable to play? Is is a personnal issue but I find smaller ouds easier to play.

Thanks for the great pics :)

Im just eager to get one of Fadi's Ouds!!

First.. Could you please post any sound file for the latest oud posted?
Second.. If I want to order a oud from Fadi.. does anyone know how much time he will take to make it? And how far can I go with customizing it? I mean choosing the type of wood and the details..

I recently got an oud from Fadi and it took exactly 3 days from Lebanon to my doorstep in upstate New York. Quite amazing. I took less time than shipping something 100 miles away! Came completely unscathed. Highly recommended. The oud is great. Got a 7 course.

That is a beautiful oud!

Do you know if Fadi makes this model with a fixed bridge katakofka? or does he just do the floaters?

cheers

Hi guys
I don't have a sound clip probably our freind OUdfreak can post a sound cllip
it takes around one month with fadi to make a new oud. Yes Melbourne it can be done fixed bridge. The best is to call him, I may be giving false info.
