OK guys, Are you READY ?!? here is the big surprise !!!
This oud dropped my jaws at first sight:
It's a very very rare and old vintage original oud by late master Mohammad Fadel Hussein.
It was made of walnut and beech, and the sound is amazingly aged, matured and full.
It was a personal gift from the late Mohammad Fadel to this oud collector (he is not an oudist by the way, and just met recently !!), so it hasn't
been played a lot as I understood. A fine Iraqi luthier will do some work on its fingerboard as it is a bit high, due to aging.

Will try to get a shot through the crowded rosette once I get the fingerboard job done.
Take care,
