This is a really awful story...
I have an oud by this maker however. My oud was built in 1980 by Samir Adly Abeer and was given to me when I was 14 (1998:-) by the famous Egyptian
composer the late Mohamed Moustapha who was a dear friend of my Uncle Yacoub Mansi Habib.
He gave it to me after he suffered Parkinsons and couldnt play anymore. He told me I would do it justice which was a very sad and moving moment. He
told me he had bought it from Mohammed Mawgi after a gathering but I never really believed it and I really cant confirm this, but Im sure its the same
maker.
This oud has a really big Arabic warm sound and is very dear to me...
All the best,
