My Smair Azar Oud

Dear friends,

In a few days, I will be the proud owner of a Samir Azar oud.
Here is a link to the work-in-process of that talented luthier.

Congrats hatem, the oud is looking great. Im jealous of the case your getting. They look so convenient. Is the shipping a lot more since your getting the hard case. I would imagine that the case carries a substantial weight.

Happy New Years and Regards,

Rami

Thanks Rami,
I received a picture from a friend who bought a very nice case from Egypt. Unfortunately, I am not sure how to post pics here.
It is made of cloth and padded with rubber. I will definitely get one when I go there.
Best Rgeards,
Hatem

That's great that he sends you pictures of the oud in progress.

I wanted to extend my gratitude to Samir Azar for the excellent job he did and for privileging me the ownership of that wonderful piece of art.
Best Regards,
Hatem

Hatem,

Did you ever post an mp3 of this oud? I am contemplating ordering an oud very similar to this from Samir. You have the ebony pegs/fingerboard, correct? How is the volume?

It is a beautiful oud.
