Here is the Second oud.
The back is made of Wenge and Paduk with stringers of Beachwood.
the soundboard is made of spruce.

It features a long fingerboard made of rosewood inlaid with bone. The Samsiya (rosettes) are plastic.

Wait untill you hear it!!
Very "arabic" sound Iam working on a sample right now. All I have to do is find a good program to compress the AVI file.

This is a verry nice oud. I have a video of mr. Yammine playing it you can trully hear its sound. The pegs are made of apricot and hold just fine.
Unfortunatly he doesnt have a web site. His ouds are played by great artists including Melhem Barakat and many others. To my knowlege he makes around
5 ouds a year or soo.. And he gets to sell them from people ordering from him directly. The ouds are in brand new condition and they have never left
his house, when I took the videos of them he had to put strings on because there not stored with the strings on. You can have a internal Pickup
instaled with a 1/4" jack plug on either side. Depending if you are left or right handed. Its a nice thing if you intend on playing live gigs or
recording. I personaly like the one with the bone fingerboard its a mather of taste I guess http://www.mikeouds.com/messageboard/viewthread.php?tid=2226
They sound just great and Iam really happy with my oud wich you can see here I picked that one. But I proabably sat there for a goood 3 hours trying
to decide witch one I was goin to go for.

If you have any more questions and you would like more pictures or samples. write to me at samir_nassif@hotmail.com
Here is a sample of my oud.
They all sound better then one another so that why I had a hard time deciding.
