Hello doud.
I have had this oud for about 6 months. But as I mentioned above, I am very busy traveling in and out of the country that I can no longer take care
of my ouds.
Regarding the price, It is not common that people will tell you how much they bought an oud for, specially if it was custom designed for them. But I
can assure you that it cost me a lot more than what I am offering it for if that is a concern.
There is no way that I can compare the two ouds. Each has its own special beauty and style. One is traditional "Shehata's", and the other is based
on Bashir style's "Ghadban's".
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
