It is nice to see Mr Richard in your shop Veysel. I think he should be shocked with all those old ladies.

I've always loved Richard's playing, 'old' style and fiery and very oudi. Nice to see more film of him - there are not many out there.
Thanks
Leon

For me, and for so many others, Hagopian is simply the master. It was through his music that I first learned Armenian and Turkish music, and was
first introduced to the oud. I am so grateful that I have had so many opportunities to see him live. Yet, every time I hear something new from him,
I walk away stunned at his mastery.

Richard Hagopian is indeed a master oud player- what's more amazing is that he came from a school of oud playing where you didn't use your second
(middle) finger unless you really needed to. If you look at the clips Veysel posted above, you can see that he rarely uses his second finger. Most of
us would be happy to play half as good as him with ALL our fingers! 
Thanks for posting these clips Veysel, it's nice to see all the good players who pass through your shop.
Here is an interview with a (slightly) younger RH where he also mentions his use of fingers:
