Hi,
I have decided to sell my Shehata "Nahat". I got it new in 2005 and only played it a year before moving to a smaller, Turkish scale, instrument. The
action is low at about 3/32 inch where the neck meets the body with _no_ buzzes. There is some slight discoloration of the fingerboard from playing
but no wear. I do not have the original soft case but will include one _if_ I can find one that fits.
I think I paid $980 originally and will sell for $650 + actual shipping anywhere in the continental US (only). Either U2U me or email to
assabetstrings@yahoo.com for more info.
Best Regards.

How would you describe the sound of this oud?

Subjectively, I'd say "balanced" - not a boomer, not overly bright, no excessively strong or weak notes. Definitely "Arabic" but not really like the
genuine Nahat's I've heard. For what it's worth...

Love that oud man. It's a beauty.
Not to get involved in your business but you are underpriced by quite a bit. At that price it will fly out of your hands.
I was just in Egypt last week and this type of oud was going for around 1500$ at least.

I remember playing this oud back in 05, it's a nice instrument. Someone's going to get a great deal. I'm tempted to get it myself . . . trying to
resist, I don't really need another oud, right?
