my new lavta

Hello,

I am new to this forum so I thought I would say hello and post a photo of the lavta Samir made for me. I've had it about two days and it is wonderful. He is a great person to work with.

I also have an Arabic-style oud made about 5 years ago by Viken Najarian which I really like.

I look forward to reading more on this forum in the coming weeks

Hi zoukboy

Looks very nice. Once you feel you've got to know the instrument, I'd love to hear a sound clip....

I'm still getting used to it - need to adjust the action for my home climate here - finding the best plectrum for it. My KLM/Northwest Airlines mileage card has made the best picks so far! I will post a clip soon!
