Najarian Arabic style oud for sale

zoukboy - 8-25-2007 at 05:19 PM

I have a Najarian Arabic style oud for sale. Bowl is East Indian Rosewood and Mahogany. Spruce top. Ebony fingerboard and pegs.

It was made in 2000 and comes with one of his own semi-soft cases. Viken does not make this style of oud anymore, so this is a relatively rare instrument.

Moved to Ebay. Item # 120159986683

$1000 initial bid and no reserve.

Auction ended with no bids. Debating whether to relist or not. Will consider offers.

I was surprised you didn't get any bids. IMO the discoloration on the face of the oud may have had something to do with it. Looks like you've replaced pickguards? I know it's silly but stuff like that can make it difficult to sell something on ebay

No, it's totally stock. In addition to the tortoisoid pickguard there are three clear ones that Viken put on, plus another clear one where the arm comes across the top.
