Fritz,
first and foremost, thanks for your e-mail detailing the prices of the ouds. I cannot believe that some of those beauties are not as expensive as one
would expect, considering that they are perfect! I'm gonna have to start doing some serious saving up! I want one of those! Ahhh bummer man, if I had
met you two months ago, I'd have one of your ouds by now, but alas.....
Your expounding on the oud and the wood is flawless and cannot be argued. However, I urge you to check Edward's site because he's built some very
unusual stringed instruments which are very innovative and effective, and also esthetically very pleasing to the eye. In other words, although they
don't deviate, in terms of nomenclature and dynamics, from the "Eastern" tradition, they manage to enrich it greatly......and they really do sound
great....... |
