Dear Friends,

I want to order an Oud. I found from a website an Oud I liked.
Please can you check this Oud's video, what do you think about it?

I was at Husseyin Aktel shop when ha was building this oud, he's making very good work, very precise, all his soundboards come from old spruce. And the finish is french polish, so much nicer than synthetic varnish.

The price was 1400 or 1600$, but you must ad the gigbag and commission for the seller.
So it's a good opportunity, he doesn't make a lot of ouds.

The sound should be even better than what you hear on the video, Husseyin has a kind of rough touch....
