Howdy oud people...
Khaled asked me to list this oud for him which is up for grabs. Completed just recently, it is identical to the oud I mentioned in the thread about
Khaled in the ouds section - except this one features a cedar face. Much nicer than the spruce version I think.
Some specs.
* 32 rib wenge bowl with triple stripe lines between, of lemon and rose.
* 61.5 vibrating string length
* cedar top
* Ebony fingerboard, raqma.
* Ebony bridge with rosewood and lemon decoaration.
This is a top end Oud as far as Khaled's work is concerned. You can only expect to pay more for a heavily ornamented instrument. The bulk of the work
here I think is the 32 rib bowl with triple stripe.
All custom made - one man show.

You'll notice in the clip, a second nut, on the finger board - supposedly this is similar to a floating bridge, but it also allows you to have an
alternative string length.
Asking $900US, hard case included. Can ship internationally.
Feel free to contact Khaled directly - 71556838 - or inbox me for help with the Arabic.
