Hola Nouphar- There are some good postings with examples on holding the risha in the forum, try doing a search on 'risha'. Looks like the guy in the
video clip is holding his risha sort of like a cigarillo...if it works for him then great. I've seen a few other oud players hold the risha like this,
though it dosen't work for me personally. Whatever works for you and is comfortable

Thank you Matthew.
Sometimes the 'cigarette' way is more comfortable to me.
I will search.
Cheers.

Comfort, in general, is a tricky thing. With comfort, you should seek control at the minimum effort (and minimum everlasting and agonizing pain).
Good luck.

LOL ..
Sorry man, but I was just reading what I wrote and it sounded like something out of a badly dubbed martial arts movie .... Laughed so hard ..
But the advice is sincere, though. :-)
