Custom Eraydin Oud for sale

azzizza - 7-17-2008 at 07:32 AM

Hello All,

In my glut of ouds I've decided to sell a beautiful paduk and wenge custom oud that the late Haluk Eraydin made for me in 2004. It is his high end professional model.

It has the extended ebony fingerboard, custom dual transducer pickup installed, and comes with a fitted case (sukar type) for the larger body. The case that haluk included was too tight for the oud's width.

I had a custom matte finish on the bowl rather than high gloss.

The rosettes are horn. There is absolutely no buzzing even to the high E up the fingerboard and the tone is even and rich. The tuning stays true. A true professional performer's oud.

His professional model is listed on his site for 2200. As the great master is no longer with us, his work will only appreciate. I am selling this custom professional oud with case for 2000 dollars. Shipping cost will depend on location but I am willing to pick up the shipping cost in the continental US.. I would ship in a UPS box in box fashion, the only way to ensure safe delivery of this fine instrument.

I will post more photos and a link on youtube when i get a chance.

Thank you all for your interest...

Armen

As is the case with most long fingerboards there was slight separation which I reinforced with hide glue. It is rock solid and has absolutely no effect on the instrument's tone or playability...
