The new Ihab Radwan signature 7 strings Oud

Dear all,
I was looking for a perfect 7 strings Oud in order to give my big upcoming concert "Egyptian Mozart" in Paris and all the series of concerts after, I found Master Cengiz Sarikus and Veysel Sarikus, after recommendations from my dear friend Joseph Tawadros, so we worked together on a new IR signature model, with a perfect combination of wood and measures, deep base and clear string highs and a long sustain....
And finally it is done, the IR model is ready, I will be performing with it on the 10th of december on Théâtre de Châtelet in Paris.
Here is a small video I did to show a small demo of this great Oud:

Dear Ihab,

Mabrouk on the new oud, it sounds very nice! I was looking at some of your YouTube videos, were you using a oud made by Albert Mansour as well? The oud has such an Arabic sound. It's too bad there are not enough Arab oud makers building ouds to such high standards.
Anyway, you are very talented
Good luck

Thanks David,
Ouds have all different flavors and sounds...
That's why I have Ouds from different makers
Have a nice day
