Hello dear friends.
Can any one here identify this oud? I have received this instrument as a gift however I could not read the name of the maker !!!!
the inlay on the fingerboard is not original... the bird is ....the big rose also is not original.....
Many thanks in advance.
Best wishes.
Adel.

Hi Adel, I think it looks like it could be Dikran Najarian

Yes, how does it sound though? looks like clean workmanship!

Yes, the workmanship is very clean, the bowl is lovely...it reminds me of the work of Abdo Nahat.
As for the sound, I have to put new strings, and the action is very low.
Best wishes,
Adel

That is simply stunning!
My challenge is to see if you can play it without smiling....
I cartainly wouldnt be able to. I'd be grinning from ear to ear!
