new saz
http://www.alansondheim.org/newsaz.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/newsaz1.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/newsaz2.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/newsaz3.mp3 I found the saz at a Salvation Army store in Parker, Colorado; it needed repair. Jim Carter, Azure's father helped with that, and also made a small bridge which I was able to shape. There's a small piece missing on the top, but that gives the instrument a unique sound. The saz came with a case and extra set of strings (which I needed), and cost $15. I've been playing it; here are three pieces, somewhat influenced by classical guitar and lute music. newsaz3 starts off clumsily but moves into allegrissimo runs about halfway through. newsaz1 and newsaz2 work from simple tunes but clumsily (deliberately) absorb other intervals where minors are expected. The pieces are improvised as usual. Enjoy! _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list NetBehaviour@netbehaviour.org http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
