Gorgeous instrument. I must say i am quite tempted by his ouds. What woods are used in this oud and whats the price for it?

Hi Sam,

Great oud for sure, very beautiful and aesthetic word and the sound is marvellous.
I add the same questions that Mehran ask for above! I'm tempted also!
Could you post a picture of the bowl?
