I couldn't pass this one up. I'll try and get some sound files up over the weekend but my recording skills are not as good as my photography
skills,

Bill,
Alf Mabrouk (a thousand congratulations). May you enjoy it in good health. How did you come by it ?
You hadn't mentioned anything beforehand (I don't remember)

Yes, that padouk is very nice. Nice pictures as well.
Is it Christmas or something? Everyone's getting new instruments!

Yeah... I wasn't planning on buying another oud so soon but... an opportunity arose
Next one will be a Turkish oud... maybe by next year I'll be ready for that, eh Spyros?

Beautiful oud Lee! Congrats! Every time I see a picture of Mourice's ouds I want to order another one.
Cheers,

Mabrouk Lee. Is that you playing the oud? If it is thats pretty good for
only having 4 lessons
Take care and maybe we'll meet up at Waels
house one day,
David.

Hi Lee
Is that you play the Oud?? Its so fast dude!! What kind of technique did you use?
Regards
Me playing
LeeVaris - 4-17-2004 at 10:51 AM
Er... yeah, that's me. You really think that's fast?
I guess I had a kind of technique breakthrough the other day. I've been playing with these really stiff rishas made from bamboo. you can see some
photos of my construction method here:

Lee, you're new oud is great. The bamboo risha seems to be working great for you. I was talking to Wael recently and he said your oud is a very
nice one. You're quite lucky to be rolling in the middle of all of this oud madness. Enjoy them, man. Also, I hope that you're giving all of
your ouds equal playing time. You never know which ones sound will mature more and become more pronounced in the long run.
