Second 3oud lesson

A quote from my teacher today:
"The 3oud is a bass instrument!"
said with excitement and affection for his instrument - and I completely understand him. I didn't get to say "bass clarinet", but I thought it.
'Cus bass is nice!
The deepest string of the 3oud is tuned to F/ fa below the staff, the second to A/ la below the staff - and I got some excersices on octave jumps, an important part of the "zakhrafe" or ornamentations in Arabic music played on 3oud.
