Dear firends,
I just got back from a business trip in Abu Dhabi. Over there, I discovered Oud Heaven where the keeper, Mr. Ammar Hammodi, keeps an amazing
collection of Iraqi ouds. I bought a gem that sounds and looks perfect. I returend to the US hoping to visit Mr. Ammar again in the future.
I was introduced to different luthier names like Hesham Hashem. My oud was made by the Kaatie brothers.
Enjoy!!!!
