Luthier Boaz Elkayam Visit

Luthier Boaz Elkayam came to visit us from Israel and brought his personal instrument, an Oud inspired design with a fretless bass fingerboard. Amazing sound! http://ow.ly/rXjQ7

Interesting different kind of sound. I'd get confused on where to place my fingers though  :o

Guess you've got to go fretless to get those quarter tones.  Love middle eastern music. Quarter tone blues anyone?
