Yes the stand is really nice, it perfectly matches with the wood spirit of oud ALAMI - 2-17-2010 at 02:06 AM
Not enough clues, Looks like no one is willing to give the wrong answers, I'll give it a shot, including 3 pure near-wild guesses.
(For the nice stand I'd be happy just to get the plans and dimensions by email)

Matta/Lebanon, Nahat/Syria, Ghadban/Lebanon, Turunz/Turkey, Shehata/Egypt. charlie oud - 2-17-2010 at 05:02 AM

Miraculous! I can hardly believe it....
Tell us how you got all the 5 makers, Ndeshpande!
Amazing.....
Trivia has ended.....and try not to update your earlier submissions to match the correct answer....
Thanks for playing!!!!ndeshpande - 2-17-2010 at 11:18 PM
Well, if you must know, I did what anybody would do: go to wikipedia!!
I did a background check between the pictures you gave and those on the websites. If the makers had no website, I looked them up on this forum! I then
looked up previous posts by you, oudistcamp, to see your association with these ouds.
Part of it might have also been luck?
These are very beautiful ouds. Would you post pictures of the front? The owner of such magnificent instruments must be very proud!!!katakofka - 2-18-2010 at 07:17 AM
since I have a feeling that "ndeshpande" and oudistcamp are
the same person
