Hot Rod Oud

Dr. Oud - 5-20-2014 at 04:25 PM

I have put together some parts collected from replacement projects into a new oud. The face came from a Syrian oud, and is over 30 years old by now. I made a simple 13 piece back of walnut and mahogany, mahogany neck and a maple pegbox with ebony pegs. The fingerboard is African Blackwood and is very hard. Priced at $1,200 including shipping to US destinations. Cases and bags are available as well.

Beautiful sounding oud Doc. Dark and mysterious; just the way I like'em.
