Amazing ! Especially with Anouar Brahem Style :)
Thae oud is sweet and balanced رخيم
Mahmoud Safi was one of the finest luthiers in the post-Nahat era in Damascus . He used to be GHN's assistant in the late 1940's - early 1950's, before lunching his own workshop.
I was lucky once to obtain a 1957 Safi's oud in a fairly good condition.

Good luck

Yours indeed
Alfaraby

Thank you very much Alfaraby!
Yes indeed it´s a very fine oud and the price is still negotiable, so don´t hesitate and buy a piece of history;)


Best Regards

I wouldn't if I haven't got one already. Though, I still think this who likes this style and does not take it at once, taking into consideration its very fair price & its location in Europe, is making a big mistake :(

When my oud was first offered for sale, it took me about 5 minutes to "take the oud & run" before the man could have changed his mind.
Well, that was me .. an oud maniac, not you, level-headed ladies and gentlemen of this forum :)

Yours indeed
Alfaraby

Neither the price nor the location has been revealed. Europe? Who knew? With more info heads might be less level! :-)

Dear Alfaraby,

you can have both of them. it's just like a beautiful reminder! one is not enough :)
In this case I wish I were in your shoes! 5 mins .. that's wonderful!
Do not worry about package delivery. I'm good at that! More than selling instruments, I'm famous for packing:)
so I'm waiting for your next email.


until then, all the best for you
Sooona

Dear Soona,

Thank you for the price and location.

You have improved my name (Jody) by putting *oud* in it (Joudy). As we all know, adding oud improves everything in life. :-)
