I've got my doubts on this one.
Not just stylistically, but also because I have never seen this spelling of the name on one of his labels, nor this style of label.

yeah jonathan, I didnt know they had microsoft word in '59...

I dont think he would have mis spelled his name too...
like der Badrousiat
The rosettes maybe recuperated from an older oud?

not to blow up the post, but every bedrossian I've seen had a very ornamented bowl, very syrian, you know? this bowl is beautiful, but it just
doesn't hit me as bedrossian-

Wasn't going to put my 2 cents in but just could not hold my self back. I see a shinny top unlike an oud from 1959 and the main rosette looks like
plastic, machine made. Add to this the name, my Karabet der Bedrossian is not spelled Badrucian. This one I strongly feel is not the real thing.

I've got pictures of 5 of them on my website--just follow the link under his name.

Andy--is yours spelled Karapet, or Garabed?
Thanks

yeah, see- I knew something was up- there are no similarities with the oud above and the ouds jonathan posted from varjouds. none.
