sounds like there's a saxophone lesson going on in the background :) anyway as an Oud player I advise you to delve deeper into the world of Maq'am, harmonic minor scale is what every guitarist plays when they get an Oud, and frankly it's dull...

That aside you've got some nice skills!

@OmriLahavComposer - I had lessons at the Music Academy in Amman, Jordan with Sakher Hattar who wrote the tune down for me.

Wow! that's quite the collection dude!... can i ask where you bought your hurdy gurdy and sitar? i've been looking for those (especially the hurdy gurdy) for forever but i live in canada so they're hard to find and rediculously expensive when i do.. =P

Thankyou - The sitar has been loaned to me - you can buy from either JAS Musicals or Bina, online I think. The Gurdy I play with an early music ensemble called Pavane, and they own it. It was made by Neil Brooke. Another great maker is Chris Allen who's website I'm sure you can Google. Cheers.

Does the last lute have gut strings on it (unlikely I guess)? Or nylon?

[purp68]

The strings are nylon, but the frets are gut.

[Hikikomori013]

Very nicely done. How many of those are actually yours?

I like the Mozart, but if you get a chance you should try a 6 course Genuese mandolino. That might be fun.
