Gamil Georges Oud restoration/ repair

sanjeevraman - 6-2-2012 at 11:37 PM

Hello:

I just bought an oud made by Gamil Georges and sons. It is (IMHO) completely unplayable, and any advise regarding restoration would be welcome. I live in the Salt Lake city, Utah area. I have attached pictures for members to see various parts of the Oud. It also seems to have a signature or scribble of some sort on the face. Any help with this would also be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Sanjeev
