Very cool - are you getting a feather quill for the risha/mizrab pick?

I tend to prefer playing lute-style personally, so with fingers. I also use an oud risha occasionally, but it's plastic, not a feather quill. There are plenty of pigeons around here, so if I find one that one has dropped I'll give it a go!

Looks good, would be interested in hearing some sound samples.

Very nice! Excellent work, and a nice "ancient" texture to the sound.
