oud in case

Arto - 5-21-2006 at 05:07 AM

I have a hard case like the one shown in the first posts in this thread. It works, and certainly protects the oud far better than a soft case, but it is not especially sturdy nor especially well made. The fiberglass is rather thin, and a sharp hit on the lid could well damage the top of the oud, I think. Works well for normal daily use, but is definitely not safe to load as cargo in an aeroplane, etc.

greetings, Arto
