Hello Jameel,

Would you like some photos of the whole oud?

I think you'll like the look of it.

Verry Nice. Emad
This oud is on a mission :D
Its around 20 years old and you can tell its aging rather nicely isnt it?
Thanks for those pics. Did you ever string it up? how about a little sound.

Thank you Samir

Hello Samir,

I actually had this oud for a while, I did play it in one of the church concerts about two years ago. It does sound really nice a warm in sound.

I have put it up in a corner as an antique because it is the oldest oud I have and because I had three others.

Give me a few days and I'll string it up and post a sound file.

Specially for you mate. :)

I wish someone can tell me any info about the maker though.
