Mr. Godin, you are a genius! I am a fellow Canadian and I own quite a few of your instruments. They are all superb! Thanks for providing instruments for progressive musicians.
@modamusic you can put some strap pins on and you may need to make a specialized capo yourself or have a series of capos in different sizes because of the large fingerboard flare but you can do anything to it that you can think of as long as you dont break it
Robert Godin has some great ideas in the line of instruments. I find the shape of the miltioud very interesting. It looks similar to the Klein electric guitar or the Ovation Breadwinner/Deacon. It would be very cool if Godin manufactured an ergonomic guitar at a price point less than the custom made "Klein clones" cost. I know I'd get at least 1! More likely a couple with different options :) A Godin Ergo-multi...yess
OK.. this sounds incredible.. I'm in love with this thing. How does someone who is a reasonably advanced guitar player learn how to play the Oud? I'd get this Godin in a second if it came with some sort of DVD crash-course. Also, how is it tuned?
I've been playing guitar for 13 years and the oud for 5. It's not easy for most western guitarists to switch to oud. I grew up listening to Arabic music which made it easier. As for tuning, It depends on the region. I personally use Iraqi tuning which is (Starting from deepest string) F (or G) A D G C F Also, I wouldn't recommend this as a first oud. You can get a more reasonably priced one from oud sukar
You can use this oud without electricity, I want to hear it without electricity because I want to buy it like it, but it is hesitant and I sometimes use the oud without electricity, and is there better than this oud in the case of not using electricity, thank you very much
This is not an oud. It does not have the deep, sonorous sound that an oud has. It has a nice sound, but it is very quiet. Personally I think the advantage of this instrument is you can spend time playing/learning and not have to fight the tunig pegs all day. But it is not an oud.
I'm not sure why but this sounds 100x better than the glissentar...interesting its a huge difference in tone...I'm leaning towards the multi over the gliss because everything I've heard on the web sounds better with the shorter scale multioud...and I don't know why
The tuning you included in your comment is the most common one in most regions, not only in iraq. agreed about the last part; this is not the best oud to start with , a more plan and classic one should be the first oud anyone owns.
mister godin, should you not change the sound in the video? i have now heard several videos of your instrument in which it sounds much more like an oud
after trying it am very very disappointed , its not electric nither acoustic , has no character at all , unbalanced sound , each string produce a different level of db and power you need a compressor pedal to balance it it still you will not reach your desired sound and dynamics that a simple acoustic oud does

Great player!!. Lovely instrument.
Do you still sell those ?
Guitar Center,, Musician's Friend, etc. Looks like they only have one model. ~$1600. There used to be a second model that was about $500-700 cheaper.
Amazing ! i would love to have one
Inspiring

Love the sound and build of Godins. Only problem I have is the fingerboard radius and neck profile. Just too flat for me. Wish you made some options.

That what I need for my projects
to be fair: i saw a different video in which this sounded much more like an oud, and with a large number of different possible sounds
Amazing

what is the weight of the instrument please?do you also make seven courses instruments?
Warmest Regards

thanks Mr Godin! im sure the price is reasonable as well!!!!!!!
Great sounding instrument. It also has to do with who’s holding the pick. Give it to me and I’ll make it sound like a coffee can with strings
mister godin, should you not change the sound in the video? i have now heard several videos of your instrument in which it sounds much more like an oud
I want it
يالله يآ رآآآببببببببح ذوؤق الذوؤق
لايك لعيون رآببح
parece estar tocando una guitarra con cegillo me quedo con el oud natural
and tuning the ud with traditional pegs is not a disaster
Oh, it definitely is unless you spend $2000 plus on an oud. Cheap ouds have cheap tuning mechanisms.
What is? Don't tell me that you think that the Oud is turkish? incorrect.
Why those godin ouds are so expensive?... that's so weird..
A decent oud in the US will costs $2000 or more. One that you could probably buy in Istanbul for $500.
كبيييييييييييير يارابح
Godin MultiOud شي آلم #Oud
@aassyr1111 I heard it that the origin of it is turkey..that its really an turkish but then adopted by the arabs.
It was built in Iraq 6000 years ago

hmmm, it doesn't really sound like an ud. Also this claim that this is the best ud player in turkey.......
Where is the belly dancer?
