I recently acquired an older (1971) Khalifa oud that needed some work. After evaluating the sound quality of this instrument, I decided to make some
serious improvements to this oud, taking this instrument to the professional level. The sound and playability of this oud is excellent. Bowl woods are
walnut and what might be padauk, it's difficult to identify. Other woods include padauk and rosewood.
Price is $1395 with custom thick-padded soft case, free USA shipping, extra string sets, picks, etc.

You guys are too much. Thanks fellas. I now have four ouds sitting here in my office. I just don't have time to play them all. 
I hope this goes to a good home.
