Turquoise oud no. 2 for sale

bulerias1981 - 7-6-2012 at 11:54 AM

Hello all. This is the latest from my shop. I finished it about 3 weeks ago, and made the main rosette, and installed it a few days ago. This oud sounds amazing and has some serious Arabic tone. The action is very playable and enjoyable. This oud along with Turquoise was played and approved by maestro Simon Shaheen. (you can contact him for any questions regarding this instrument)

Video/audio of come.

E-mail me bulerias81 @ gmail.com if you have any questions. Thank you.
