my Kyvelos oud

Sometimes not enough is said about Peter's talent. I can claim to own a real treasure.

Hi Andy...I am so happy to see this masterpiece! Everytime I go to my teacher Al's house I am like a kid in a candy store looking at all of the beautiful ouds that Peter has made for him...I was at Peter's home last spring picking up an oud from him and he let me play the oud that he made for himself...An absolutely perfect instrument. Play in good health!

Andy--any chance we can see the back of the oud?
Someday, someday, I am going to have a Kyvelos. Speaking of which, anybody have one for sale?
Good for you Andy-- can you give us any more details? When it was made?
Amos--are you taling about the one with the maple back?--That is an incredible looking oud. I have never played it, but it sounds superb.

Made for me and dated October 1974. at the top of the body where it meets the neck you'll notice Peter's Unique design which sets it apart from other builders.

That is some purdy wood, Andy. Love the bird's eye maple on the pegbox. Is the rest mahogany?

I just have to say again...This oud is a masterpiece! Thank you for sharing, Andy...
