Edward Powell & Tomas Reindl 1/4 -Gat in Deepchandi

[omaroudplayer]

This is a very cool instrument! It's like you have both oud and sarod at the same time. What do you call it?

[edwardpowellmusic]

Yes, sarod and oud all in the same 'guitar'... this was the idea. I designed and built it myself--- and call it "Ragmakamtar", because it is designed for rendering both ragas and makams.

Thanks for your interest.

Nice. Did a string break at the end?

[edwardpowellmusic]

DUDE! how do you find these vids SO quick?? :-D

You have very sharp ears! No broken string - one just slipped out of its slot at the nut... my mistake, it wasn't cut deep enough.

How is your FG playing coming?

[MatthewBearne]

Haha, just went on and it showed me the new videos from my subscriptions, good timing though! Must of been a bit of mood killer the string popping out, right at the end!

Fretless guitar is good, haven't been playing much this week, mostly it's been jazz improv on my fretted.

Cool! Keep up your playing on whatever :-D
