Hello Souheil.
Yes, it sounds really arabic: deep and mellow sound, but may be with more sustain.
Your taksim is amazing and the pleasure of watching the rosette doesn't stop during 7'30........
Is-it possible to know the price for such an oud?
You can answer on my email address if you prefer:
salmonfrancis@yahoo.fr
Thanks for this video and for your contribution to this forum, Souheil.
Francis

Fabulous - great playing and amazing oud (astonishing rossette!!!), I love your phrasing, there are elements of Turkish/Greek/Armenian ornamentation
with the Arabic sound - I love it!

Great taqsim Souhil.
Do you sing? If so please sing a song!
Or, listen to my idea - play a taqsim that starts on saba on D (in arabic tuning), modulates to ajam in Bb, then to kurd on low G, then finish again
on saba. Try to develop each maqam and not pass through them too fast (which will be easy for you), then post it in a new thread, and make up an
excersize taqsim like this one for the next person to play, I like doing this alone, in a group it should be fun, I'm sure we will learn alot!

To later

Saba would be nice, maybe Saba Husseini, you can also modulate to hijaz kar or nawa athar.
otherwise, try hijaz or sikah baladi.
Most importantly, let it flow from whatever you are feeling at the time.

It's a 7 courses oud
Tuning from high pitch to low : ff-cc-gg-DD-AA-FF-C
I changed the Kurschner strings recently and still having the same sound. The set is from Pyramid, the orange Label set plus a 7th string from
D'addario. The ff, cc and gg are Nylon
