Hey guys,
What are the average prices of Jameel Khalaf's ouds?
Are they as good as they look?

He's a member here. I've never played one but they sound great. No clue on the price. American built ouds are obviously pricier than what you can source overseas but factor shipping in when comparing prices.

Unfortunately, Jameel has not been active on these forums for a very long time, so I doubt he will read your post.
Jameel made a very few fine instruments for particular purposes and was never in the business of making them for commercial purposes.
I had the joy of playing one of his instruments a couple of years ago and it was superb. If the others he made are as good as the one I played, I suspect they will be priceless in years to come.

Regards,

Greg

As Greg said, Jameel is not presently making instruments.
